If you really regret selling yours I bet you could twist Tony's arm and maybe score another one. | ||

Joined: July 2005 Posts: 3410 Location: GA USA | I've bought seven Ovations, and only one of them was new. I think it was 2005. The Ovation web site said tear drop burst was an option and I kind of got fixed on it. Then When I ordered through Al I found out it was no longer standard finish, and paid extra for it. I think I set the record for most ever paid for a Balladeer S771. I sold it for $300 less than I paid. | ||

Joined: October 2005 Posts: 4039 Location: Utah | Originally posted by CanterburyStrings: Good question, but for me the surprising answer is No. We sought out Ovations for Sara, first the AA13 and then the Red Flame. At that time, the local Pop shop carried the AA13, and then GC had a good selection of USA Ovations. An even better question - how many bought used because none of the local stores CARRIED new USA O's? The used O's that I did buy were because the factory no longer made the models I wanted. Patriot (Katie stops by to play it even though Sara is off at college), Viper, Preacher. | ||

I got a side question how many people bought used because they were not making what you wanted? They lost 4 sales of new because of that. They lost 1 becaise I did not want to wait 3 monthes. | ||

Joined: March 2006 Posts: 269 Location: Nîmes, south of France | No new Ovation recently, say within the 5 last years, and no new one(s) expected in close future. Why ? Because i am very pleased with those i have at home and also because i like other brands like Godin, Gretsch, Lowden, and some luthiers as well :-)). To make a long story short, I bought only one NEW Ovation guitar in my life, it was a 1868-4 Elite model in year 1990 in Paris (from one of the late Marcel Dadi music stores), and i sold it at the end of year 2007 to a young french guitarist dreaming of owning one. Actually all my Ovation's or Adamas are used ones bought to OFC members within years 2006 and 2010. If i had to buy one new more, it would be a custom 1187-2 very close to the one of ProfBB . Hope this could happen one day ! | ||
