Before the Ovation FanClub™ there was the official Ovation Owners Online club. The original portal of the "Ovation Owners Online" club was launched by Ovation Guitars and Kaman Music Corp around 1997 and only existed for a few years. After the trial period, members paid $30.00 and received a copy of "The History of Ovation Guitars" by Walter Carter signed by C.W. Kaman II and some other trinkets. There were even "chat" sessions. but for some reason the project didn't really take off and eventually faded from view. The pages all work, but any external links have been disabled.
