That has to be the worst looking Ovation ever made right?

I'm thinking I'll have to go with Dweez on this. Never was a fan of red guitars. The "snake skin" in red just doesn't do it for me. Plus, it's got "that" headstock.

Dweezil, I can't say it's the ugliest, because I haven't seen them all, but if they made an uglier one there may be criminal charges attached.

I would just call the Thunderbolt "polarizing"

This is actually not the snakeskin (TS-01) but either a dragonskin (TD-01) or lizardskin (TL-01)

The "bubbles" are actually meant to be scales, whereas the snakeskin was a series of small and large diamonds to simulate snakeshin:






These are very rare...only 50 or less were ever made and handpainted/graphiced...divide that between blue, red and black for each model and you can see the rarity...

For that price it's a steal.
Especially with case.
Shame it's a bit scratched up!

Thanks for the info Mike I wasn't aware of the other variations.

AJ, I didn't know it until I started researching the one that Damon has now.(see above)...These guitars (Thunderbolts) play and sound great...the TS-01-5 was a real sleeper in the guitar sound comparisons we did a while ago...
