Location: Phoenix AZ | I would like assemble a list of all OFC members who own any Collectors Series guitars. That's 1982 right up through 2003 (I already have 2004 and 2005). It's kind of a big job to assemble all this so may take a little while. But anyway, I've set up a special email account. If you would like to be listed, please email me at THIS address:
[email]serials@ovationgallery.com[/email]
Please tell me 1) what year, 2) what serial number, 3) your OFC name and 4) anything special or unusual about the guitar.
I am also looking for a representative photo of each years guitar. If you have something, please email it to the same address. I want a full shot of the guitar in front of some non-distracting background. Minimum size 640x480. Since my inbox will probably overflow pretty quick with all the photos, I'll keep you posted on what years I am still looking for. Right now I need photos of ALL years 1982 to 2003.
The format of the serial number lists will be similar to this:
Serial number list
Thanks, Dave
PS - I am still looking for more inputs on the already existing lists, especially shiny bowls and storms. I know there are a lot of you out there! |

Location: Phoenix AZ | The best and worst of friends ... all in the same thread. OK, maybe I have no life so why am I taking on a thankless task like this. A few people have asked about it and I think it would be a really cool thing for the OFC to have access to. Somebody's got to do it and well ... yes, I have no life. Dave |

Location: Phoenix AZ | Here's a test run of the serial number site. Still some things to fix up. Looking for more photos and more people to register their guitars. If you don't want to share your serial number, that's OK. But still get yourself on the list! Dave
