Location: Rocky River, Ohio | Hey there....just got back into town...what a great weekend...great to meet all you wonderful people...
After lunch wandering around to find a restroom, I stumbled across the room where all the finished guitars are lined up getting ready to be cased and shipped. I got one shot off before the door was shut in my face !!...
It's in the ERNIEWAN gallery under OFC 2005. Enjoy.
This is one room I could have spent a lot of time in, but then the fine Ovation people would have had to supply drool cups and towels..
Take care, Ernie |

Location: Upper Left USA | So this brings me to a point raised at the last Tour.
Anyone pilfer anything interesting (besides the Adamas) or pick up some spare parts whilst walking through the tour?
I hope to remember the "Looking for a bathroom" thing! |

Location: south east Michigan | Ya know....I thought about it. There were bins and bins of scrap 5 piece neck material. It was asked a few times what they did with it. The answer was that alot of the employees have wood burning stoves. I heard later that a least one piece was saved from the fire. But I was to chicken to take one. |

Location: closely held secret | Somebody handed me one, it was just a scrap cutoff, but it has the 'skunk stripe' in it. I stuck it in my camera bag becuse I was too busy at the moment to deal with it. Found it after I got home. It's about 3" by 4". |

If I had one I would machine it into a even shape the put a glossy neck type finish on it. Oh well, maybe next time.
But I did bring home the booted Celebrity! |

Location: NJ | Last year they had given us some Sitka spruce "coasters" which were the "drop" that came from cutting soundholes. These were laser-etched with the Ovation logo and had the '04 TourJam date, etc.
Last month, I was finishing some MusicRoom panels with tung oil, and before I chucked each rag, I'd wipe it across each of the coasters. Really made the grain detail (and the etched lettering) "pop" . . . |
