Location: Massachusetts | No not the dude on the Apprentice(though Ovation got serious advertising those 2 weeks).
I was watching that Made in America show hosted by John "Cliff" Ratzenberger.
Well they did a segment on Martins. When they said that anyone who knows a good guitar plays Martins they:
Panned the wall of what looked like GC and the entire wall in closeups were Ovations!
I had to crack up at that.
Interestingly they did a segment on the Gibson Custom Electric shop on that show.
Too bad they didn't do the O factory though I saw a great segment on my local newsmagazine in Boston on the O factory. |

Location: Central Massachusetts | Yup, Made In America did a segment on the Ovation Factory and a DVD has made the rounds. I'm happy to send out copies to anybody who PMs me with their contact info. It may take me a couple of weeks, as I haven't got any already burned. |
