Location: Boise, Idaho | I suspected that was coming, although I was slightly surprised at your reaction to the guitar. It's good to see that Ovation has made a guitar that suits your tastes. It's been a while. It's only 1 more year till our 40th. I hope there aren't any 40th Anniversary guitars left by then.

I survived the 3-5. At the last minute I decided it was too risky to give her the guitar so I kept it for myself. Best darn anniversary gift I ever got. I'll post some pictures and comments when I get time, but long story short the 40Th Adamas is a KILLER of a guitar. I knew it would be good, but not THAT good. Sonically and visually stunning.
Congrats on the anniversary!!Which adamas did you get Bearclaw or cutaway? |

Location: undisclosed | Glad that works out, probably means more guitars too. Say, I need a wife, are they cheaper by the dozen or does network TV have to be involved for that to happen? |

Location: Boise, Idaho | I never could understand polygamy, or even divorce and remarriage for that matter. One wife is expensive enough. Guitars are cheaper than mistresses or divorces. Whether marriage is cheaper than a guitar habit, I'll never know. My wife handles the finances and she hasn't told me how much she costs. |

But I may be able to help you Mark. Your wife sounds very expensive and probably likes expensive things. It is your job to be a expensive husband so go order that 40th anniversary guitar!

Location: Boise, Idaho | For almost 40 years things seem to be working out, so I think I'll just stay the course. Mine's probably lots cheaper than most and keeps telling people that I have 17 Ovations, which is a couple low. I'm afraid if I hit 20 she might notice. |

I see that Sweetwater advertises that they have #2 and #3 of the custom legend on pre-order. THAT should be pretty interesting ... |

Though I don't get it why they would mention that the Elites are bearclaw spruce and then cover it up with black gloss ... what's the point of that? http://www.sweetwater.com/store/manufacturer/Ovation/high2low
