I'll certainly put a bottom feeder bid on one these. Especially now that my left hand is starting to feel pretty burly after putting mediums on my 2005-ES. | ||

Joined: July 2004 Posts: 338 Location: Omaha | I've recently tried a few sets; am trying both light and medium to see which are right for me; they're hard to find locally - I picked up a few sets on vacation (WAY overpriced, but I like to help small town businesses) and have been impressed so far. So tell me again why all Ovations don't leave the factory with these on them...or do they? | ||
