Well my 2007 BCS arrived today. I'm simply blown away- it is gorgeous. I got home late tonight so I only spent about 20 minutes noodling. First impressions on the VIP -I like the different settings- I can see how I may wind up only using a couple more than others. The "bottom" on this is fantastic- so rich and full. Here are a couple of pics that I got from GC before they sent it out. I'll take some better ones over the weekend.

They have to be one of the most attractive Ovations ever made. Sound good too.

Thanks for the compliments; I know there's usually a noticeable difference in quality when you go from an import to a US made guitar (I did say usually) and that happened to me before when I went from an import Parker p36 to my NiteFly and then my Classic Fly. But It's just such a cool feeling - my Korean O is really nice, plays great and looks good- but this BCS is just a joy to play; heck it's a joy to just sit and look at it!

I want Damon to buy one and post pictures of it. That would be something special.

Last night I was playing it for a good period of time- it started to cut out on me intermittently. If I would unplug it and plug it back in, it would be fine for a minute or two then cut out again. Today I replaced the battery and everything seems to be fine. I did a search and found someone with a similar issue- in his case it turned out that the pre-amp was fine but the "can" was bad. Hopefully everything will remain fine- but out of curiosity, what would a replacement can cost? and is that a Mother Ship only repair?

Damn-it just cut out again. The only way I can get it back is to unplug the cable and plug it back in again. I have a call in to Ovation; hopefully it's an easy fix.

It could just be a bent tab within the output jack. Does the plug feel a bit wobbly in the jack?

Not really Fly - the good news is the 30 day warranty includes Guitar Center fixing the issue-whatever it is. So I'm dropping it off next week. Yeah M, that's true-even if GC wasn't going to fix it-I couldn't return it- it's too sweet. But finding out it's covered is even sweeter.
