No, Ovation is not "going under"
Click Does this mean Ovatino is going over? :p
Given the current value of the dollar vs. other currencies, there shouldn't be a lot of pressure to move Ovulation production overseas. As long as it's viewed as a premier make, the price of an Ovation on the overseas market should have dropped precipitously in the past year or so.

Location: 92W 39N | I've been wondering about what changes, if any, are in store for Ovation USA. An Ovation factory rep (Phillip) was here at the local shop when I bought my Elite Ts. He said that that line was being moved to Korea by the end of the year and would sell at about the same price as the current sale price. Later conversations with my local dealer about other Ovations left me with the impression he thought even more lines might shift overseas.
Obviously, that does not imply the end of Ovation USA, much less Ovation generally, but it is worth finding more about. I plan to follow up with both the factory rep and my dealer.
Cheers,
Otto |

Location: 6 String Ranch | Ovation is not going under, just some of them are going over. Some Guilds are coming back. A few others went up and a few did go away but may be reintroduced as something else someday.
Hope that clears it all up. |
