No more guitars for me for a while though. |

That is one sexy piece of wood!! |

Location: SoCal | It is a special guitar and I was honored when Bruce entrusted me with it.
The finish is such a deep honey, the tone is far superior to any other Ovation that I have played (and some will tell you I have had or have a number of outstanding early and late O's and A's).
For a long time, Bruce had loaned me the guitar. My wife told me that it will never leave.
As the pre-production slothead (I have #50) is the "holly grail" of the Adamas, I see this guitar as the "holly grail" of the O's. |
