Location: Midland, MI | I discovered recently (like two minutes ago) that Applesauce also made a limited run of 6-string geetars with the palm tree cutouts and koa top. Even more recently (like a minute ago), I found out that there was a limited run of the limited run that had a RESONATOR on the sound board, along with the palm tree cutouts. I've heard tell (ok, read) that the reso-palm geetar was made in Japan.
Now, my wife is seriously going to kill me, but man...a matched set? That'd whip the lama's ass. Anyone seen either of the other two items? Any information available?
EDIT:
Breaking news...just found this!
This is the Ovation Celebrity Deluxe model # CP744-4K, parlor size koa top acoustic electric. 40 pieces were made exclusively for Hawaii, very limited. There was also a matching acoustic electric soprano ukulele, model # UAE24-4K. You could possibly still find one:
Oahu:
* Music Mac (Aiea, Kaneohe)
* Easy Music (Honolulu)
* GoodGuys Music (Honolulu)
Hawaii:
* Mele Kai Music (Kona)
* Music Exchange (Waimea, Hilo)
Maui:
* Bounty Music (Kahului)
Kauai:
* Scotty's Music (Kalaheo)
I hope this helps.

If you check thru the Galleries, there's (there USED to be, anyway) pics from the first TourJam of a teal O'Rez with palm tree cutouts. If you can't find it, lemme know, I've got it archived(somewhere)and I'll rePost it. This thing was SaWEEET!. Master Templeman and I were so enamored with it that we considered ThomasCrown'ing it . . . ;) Upon further consideration, we figued that we'd THEN have to contend with killing one another off (which would be a stupid waste of time and energy . . not to mention exceedingly "messy"), and respectfully restrained ourselves.
I honestly think that they should consider putting out a Limited tun of those . . .
It'd be a pretty "fun" guitar (say whatchu' will Al, but the friggin' ParrotHeads'd love 'em:-)
Even do it along the lines of the MOB's . .
How are those things "doing" anyway??
s'Anybody know?
I haven't really seen any anywhere . . .
Temp; you sellin' any?? Al? . . . . . . . . |

I'll go check out the gallery for the teal reso-palm. Thanks for the tips! |

Come to think of it, it is a shade of blue. |
