OK , how come no one has stepped out of the closet to give a review of this guitar ? Did anyone get a chance to play one when you were at the tour ? I know this may be a tough one for some but will anyone own up to owning one of these & if so how about a review . My personal thought is that they are just to ugly to hang around your neck . Any thoughts ??? GWB

Sorry to be ignorant, but what is the ME11??? part of it. I have a W-597 and am very pleased with it (after some tweaking on the action).

Please clarify....

Standingovation once had some aweful things to say about this guitar's looks. I'm sure it's in the archibes somewhere. Something about the top being tampon-white and how appropriate that the silver-ish epaulet trim looked just like the inside of a clam-shell. Just some aweful comments. You know how cruel he used to be ...

Fortunately I am above all that. I have my own personal preferences of course, but I would never criticize other peoples equipment (shut up Cliff). Some people would consider this a very nice guitar. I'm sure it plays and sounds great. The looks are a matter of personal choice. Heck people say my FD14 is fugly, but I love it all the same. Even ugly dogs are still technically "mans best friend".

I like it, don`t much like the black headstock. Does that make me GAY ;) I liked her first CD, but not much after that. If you think about it their are a lot of gay looking Ovation`s. If you look at some of the 2006 tour pics you might wander about some of these guys...

The fact that Ovation has XX of these IN STOCK, and XX of the 12 string model (most Adamas stock levels are X, 597's maybe X or X) should tell ya something.

PLEASE do not post the PRIVATE inventory of the factory on this PUBLIC message board.

You really need to think before you post.

try this: put your hands in the air walk away from the key board, think about it then post.

Al,

If you have a problem with something I post, please do NOT take this approach with me again.

As I said to you in the private email that I sent to you. Ban me, ask me to leave, or delete my post.

Trust me, there was a lot more written, but after reading it again, why bother. Your board, enjoy it.

I did not edit your posts. I have sent you e mails and you never responded.

The bottom line is you are welcome here but you really have to watch what you post and how you post it.

BTW. why did you edit your post? If you legitimately feel that way post and keep it up for all to read. I have no issue with that.

I am available to talk about any of your concerns any time. And have addressed them all.

I believe you were the one that started with the name calling on the message board.

If you do a search you'll see I did a very extensive review of the MEWP-I. No one's hiding the fact that it's a great guitar.

I own it, and I found it to be top of the line. The MEWP-II, due to the missing lower sound holes will accentuate the lower end of the sound spectrum. That's the style now and people like it, especially when playing live at volume.

I've been playing it now for 3 years, and where ever I go, people say it's beautiful both sonically and cosmetically. Not a mention of gayness. Could be because I live in "Gay-jew-stan" but I don't think so. Most people just say, cool guitar and that other factor doesn't enter into it one bit.

As to the appearance, if you like white guitars, you'll love it. I like white guitars. So there.
