Location: Keepin' It Weird in Portland, OR		Back-in-the-day those used to be all over eBay.
They do have a nifty wooden bowl.
Racing Stripe... Crescent Moon... and a Manhole cover.
How cool can you get?

HERE is a thread about them from back in 2007.
They were also referred to as an "Axiom".
If it was cheaper I would say "grab it" and try it out.
But for $800 you can probably get a real Ovation.

If it was cheaper I would, but $800 is too much to spend just to satisfy my curiosity.

Location: Pueblo West, CO		It looks like it is. If you look closely through the sound holes at the inside of the bowl you can see the butcher-block pattern of the wood.

Location: Hot Springs, S.D.		You know, I bet it sounds good. And it's beautiful to boot. I would never buy one unless I could play one first, but I will make it a point to look for one so I can try it.

It's intriguing ...tho imho, it'd look nicer without the center soundhole. Wonder what that bracing looks like.  

 

On the last pic, what are those gray spots on the underside of the waist? ...ware marks in the finish or some kinda design  ...tree shapes maybe???

Location: Hot Springs, S.D.		Looks to me like tree shapes. They are most likely "non-slip" in texture. I could do without them, and I agree that the center soundhole is overkill, but maybe it improves the sound.
