Location: Pacific Northwest Inland Empire | For those of us who are the fortunate owners of vintage USA Ovations, but not the original owners; is there a way to determine where our guitars were initially shipped, when, and to whom? Now, far be it from me to tromp all over someone's privacy, but I would like to know some more of my instruments' histories. I have read the discussion thread concerning the respective ownership roster of the slothead Adamas production, and am wondering if "ordinary" sales records could be accessed. |

Location: NJ | If someone was an original owner AND sent in the registration card, I believe that card would be kept on file (by serial #) at Customer Service.
Whether or not they'd be willing and/or able to give you that info is another story. |

Location: Pacific Northwest Inland Empire | Thanks, Cliff- kinda my thoughts, too. If it was shipped to a business, would that make a difference? |

In the case of the SlotHeads, it was just 35 guitars, records were kept because some went to some prominent individuals, . . . AND . . . THAT record ended up going to some guy who used to come to the factory and take all of the so called "junk" . . . that's the only way WE were able to find it. |

If you're asking about the "junk guy", it's our own beloved Uncle Al.
If you're asking where/who the SlotHeads went to, it's listed in the "Reference" Section here.
After tonight's GIG, I am on VACCACIONES!!!!
One whole week of R&R (Rum & Relaxation) in Cape May, NJ!!!
Be good to one another.
(Al, you got my cel phone number, call me!!
"Whaler's Cove" awaits!!) |
