Location: Berkeley, CA | And maybe this is a little after the fact, but are there fret markers along the side of the neck? |

Be carefull, once you get started...you can't stop! Seriously though, nice looking guitar. You really can't go wrong with one of these. |

Location: Berkeley, CA | I imagine. I've got a thing for unusual guitars already... my baby is a closed-chamber Alvarez-Yairi, and I use a pair of baritones.
I've taken to doing a lot of percussion on the soundboard lately, so I'd like a guitar that's built to withstand it. =) |

The best way to ease the pain is to share the affliction! |

Location: Berkeley, CA | I've played a few Ovations, and enjoyed them (I think the 2003 Collector's in particular), but knew that I'd ultimately kick myself for shelling out however much money and not getting an Adamas. I've already got a pair of songs where I just beat the hell out of the guitar, and I'm really excited to get to do some scratchy stuff on the textured top.
So yeah.. I would like a textured top, but need one with a cutaway. I'm also bent on the 4-band EQ. So, looky here, that's the guitar I want. =) |

Oh, she plays an Adamas too.

And I will bid higher, if someone outbids me. Till then, I'm thinking $676 would be a steal. =) |

Location: Berkeley, CA | I know! I was stuck out of town when the auction ended. Someone's getting a great deal, and I'm bummed that that someone wasn't me.
Maybe this means I should hold out for a smaller bowl or OP50 electronics... :( |
