Location: boulder | For those who haven't seen this guitar, it's on DVD and in waskels photo gallery.
For those who did play it at OFC tour, what did y'all think? would you buy it if they produced them?
I loved it. It was full sounding. I guess I mean deep toned with rich harmonics, maybe like an adamas. I wish I could play it again. I believe it was midbowl, but not sure.
I would buy it if they built it. Anyone else?
peace, (just trying to let the powers that be know) mike |

Location: NJ | While the Elite/epaulet version was . . "okay" . . I'd buy this version in a heartbeat:

Location: south east Michigan | To complete my collection I need to procure a quality speciman of a multi-hole Ovation.
Will it be the OFC guitar?
Will it be a U681T?
Will it be an 06C Koa???
That Koa prototype sure played and sounded nice. It would be a nice contrast to my other guitars. I might be wrong, but it might have had a contour bowl.
Btw...that single hole version, to me, is just wrong. Reminds me of a Tacoma...not an Ovation. |

As long as it doesn't remind me of the goddam "Celebrity"! . . .
I wouldn't mind a multi-hole version, but ENOUGH with the epaulets! |

Location: south east Michigan | A multi-hole without the epaulets could work well with the koa. |

Location: NJ | I just like how this one is just a complete "departure" from ANYTHING that Ovation's already done . . .
. . tho, a palm tree'd be cool, too .. . |

Location: closely held secret | Here's the multi-hole peghead (sorry the headstock got cut off) - bad choice of epaulet wood. Grain's running the wrong way, and it should be darker than the body... if it really has to be there at all.

Location: closely held secret | I didn't really care if it was a 'departure' from anything - I just thought it was a very classy-looking, sweet sounding guitar. (I'm starting to lean towards the single-hole version - as long as it doesn't have the 'eyebrow') |

Is Cliff's single hole version a 12 fret and the Multi hole a 14 fret? Who got to play both. I'm leaning with Cliff that the single hole version would be worth the ensuing marital discord. |

Location: closely held secret | Yep, the single hole was a 12 fret slothead, and the multi-hole was a 14 fret peghead.
Quite a few of us played them both. |

Location: boulder | I actually liked both. both sort of boomed, like cannons. But I really really liked the 12 fret slothead, single hole is no problem with me. You know i am pushing for the teardrop 2006 adamas as well. koa slothead, teardrop adamas oh yeah. peace |
