No I am not buying another Ovation!
Having said that the W597 does have an Ebony fingerboard and the frets kinda look quite large...
Arrgghhhhh! :) |

Location: Steeler Nation, Hudson Valley Contingent | Ahh but Dweez, these are much more difficult to come by than the W597 (even the cobalt ones). Remember the basics of guitar buying:
Deep breath...
Let it out slowly...
Squeeze the trigger.  |

I would like a nylon string to replace my Line6 Variax but not just yet - the W597 comes first. |

Location: Brighty in Blighty | 2080 - don't like the sound hole styling
1581 - non ebony fingerboard, like the cobolt blue
Why you ask? |
