I've got all my pics in.
The Martin Tour pics are in their own gallery.
I have nicked pics from Waskel's and Corvairfans' gallery to make up an album for myself. When Mr. Wong gets his done I'll cherry-pick from him too.
When do we get to see the group photo?

Nice shots, Slip!

Maybe this is a company secret, but does anyone know how many Ovation guitars come out of the New Hartford every year?

Brad,
Good pics. These middle aged guys (me included) sure wail with emotion, while strumming their O's.
We still never got to "Freebird"

I seem to remember Rick H. saying about 11000 to 12000 when I asked him. About 100 times the Hamer output.

12,000 is a lot of guitars!
But when you do the math it comes to about 50 per day which does not seem so large.

With 251 working days and a yearly output of 12,000 units it is 47.81 guitars per day. Account for vacation time and fishing seaso... sick days, Llama Vet calls, occasional personnel issues, overhead, factory tours and other disruptions, occasional rework and staffing a Customer Service Department so that whiners like me can get repair parts.

I'm thinking there are about three dozen Luthiers that are absolutely working their butts off while guys like us click away on our computers.

THANK YOU!
And you know who you are!

:D
