Location: Corvallis, OR | I in a recent post, I mentioned the Experience Music Project (nicknamed EMP.) Located in the center of Seattle, it is a worthwhile destination for any visitor, young or old.
Part of the multi story (ugly) building is a guitar museum, and it displays ancient and modern guitars , including some knock-out examples of expensive and rare guitars, complete with lots of interesting information about their construction and the makers. Slide, lap, classical, electric, reso-phonic, it's all there.
However, altho the Ovation they display is a nylon string model, it is strung with steel strings!
Oh well, no harm, no foul, I guess.

Location: Atlanta,Ga. | The Ovation displayed at EMP is a 14 fret 1624 nylon string very early serial number.I sold it to them along with a early label 1967 shiny bowl balladeer that they did not use for display.The 1624 was the first year of acoustic /electric..If they have it strung with steel string then they changed it after i sent it to them.I do remeber them not really wanting a nylon string but wanted a first year A/E so that would explain the steel strings on a 1624.They also bought the first catalog Ovation made in 1967(four inserts with the first four models within a folder in black and white)very rare catalog.. |

Ran across this at a local newsstand over the weekend . . .
This is the "bonus CD" that comes with the Buyer'sGuide issue. I picked up the issue (ahem) PURELY for . . . . "Ovation . . . Marketing Research" (yeah, THAT'S it!).
I don't think Jenna Jameson actually plays guitar, but . . . I've uh, . . HEARD that's she's somewhat "talented", and . . uh, . . HAS in fact handled a Longneck . . . or three . . . . .
ANYWAY! . . . the issue kind of gives an "overview" of electrics, acoustics (Adamas SlotHead and the EliteLX got favourable reviews), amps, effects, home recording, etc. . .
The CD has some Flash presentations of various products, .pdf's of numerous catalogs, and a BUNCH of video presentations from vendor booths at the last NAMM Show (Martin, Taylor, RainSong, . . . and, uh, . . NOvation). There IS though, a pretty cool promotional video from Hamer featuring Jol Danzig (including a "flashback" pic of him with long hair).
I . . uh, . . . understand that there is also a video of Ms. Jameson's photoshoots for the issue on there as well, . . . but I . . uh, . . don't "recall seeing it" . . . . "to the best of my knowledge" . . . . "at this time" . . . |
