Location: Munich, Germany | Jerome, i am glad that you have the same wall problems that i had a long time ago.
What did you tell me then? "I am sure you will find another wall!"
Well my friend, you will find another wall as well!
First get rid of the tv, the heating and this, what is it, a window? And go on shopping!
This won't be your last guitar!
Best regards to france,

Location: Germany | Wonderful Jerome, these shiny bowls sound absolutely great. After seeing this video I also took my Dlx Balladeer and tried this sunny tune. Well, the guitar sounded great as well, but the result was not comparable to yours. As I know that you are a fab four fan I am going to practice some tunes for our summer OFC meeting.
Enjoy!

Somtimes I feel alone with my flat picking style while the others are all playing fingerpicking with a thumbpick.
I'm an alien here in France!!! :D :D
I'm working some tunes for the European OFC gathering next summer and I hope to be ready.
Thanks guys. ;)

Location: Paris/France | Thanks Richard but do you really want to hear me singing in English???
Don't you think that there's already enough catastrophes in our world??? :D :D
I've never had any trouble of sliding with the back of Ovation guitars.
These guitars are perfect to me and my Shiny Bowl is like the others.
