Location: Yucaipa, California | I just read this review for the Elite LX on the Music 123 Web site:
I absolutely love what they did with the epaulets (inlaid). If you are a fan of the Elites this should be reason enough to get an LX. But it gets better. Very playable, very even on the tone. Down low it has a real growl and the high end is defined but not brassy. More often I finger pick with hammer-ons and pulls - THERE IS REAL DEPTH COMING OUT OF THIS GUITAR! My other guitar/comparison is a Guild D50 built in 1967. The LX (brand new out of the box) has the low end of the dreadnought. It has a darn good start on the 36 years of tone as well. It has the projection that only a Roundback can give! The OP Pro gives excellent visual reference when tuning with the lighted indicator. The pick up is the best available on any A/E out there. It is an outstanding acoustic instrument with extreme potential when plugged in. You'll get an incredible value. :D
It was signed by someone from Port Orchard, Washington..... hmmmm wonder who that could be... ;)

Location: Upper Left USA | I was challenged by an OFC post to fill out as many reviews as we could. This of course was followed by a post that said they (happy, sappy reviews) were worthless. I still believe what I said.
Things that last forever:
Take me Lord!
I do!
Birth of your children!
Children moving out!
Things you post on the internet!
Thanks for noticing Tim! |

Good work, both of you are showing signs of becoming unrepentent Ovationists, have you picked out a place to live when your wives find out?? |

When she lifts her eyebrow at my GAS, I glance in the direction of her file cabinets full of Beanie Babies ;) ..... all quiet on the Western front! :D

Would it be considered normal Pavlovian psychology if I heard the theme to "The Odd Couple" go off in my head as I read your post?
Not to worry Tim! I'll be the neat one. |

Location: Yucaipa, California | ...upper hand!.... quite a rare occurance for sure! but we do have one Beanie Babie that was mis-labled... should be worth $10.00 by now!
... I'm still conjuring up ideas for my "dream" Ovation.... no epauletes, bound multi holes, ebony fretboard/bridge, tree of life MOP inlay full length of the fretboard, join body at 14th fret, possibly Cedar top, .... more to come....
