Location: NJ | I was told it was ok to talk about the 08 collector's series guitar today. I will give you all the information I have which really is not too definitive.
Limited to 100 numbered 1/1 - 1/100
40 are going to the export market leaving 60 for the usa
$5K list
$3999. MAP
Black
slotted headstock
contour bowl
single epaulet
textured top
cutaway
bowl ring.
These are all the details I currently have. If you are interested contact me for pre orders. reserve yours now I was promised low serial numbers, but nothing is ever set in stone as I have come to realize over and over again.

Sounds good...put me down! |

Location: Phoenix AZ | Reservation placed. Given everything that's going on this'll either be 1) the first of a new era, or 2) last of the mohecians. Either way it'll be a very special instrument. Single sided epaulet models just HONK, and coupled with a slotted headstock and contour bowl this could very well be the best of the best. Nice work bringing this foreward as a little "Xmas whistle wetter", Al. THANKS!

It's like they almost read my mind.
And it's easy to see that they do read this board. |

Location: Blue Ridge Mountains | Well, I just thought you'd like to see what Leslie (Vision) and I were able to get for the holidays: hers (006 of 100) was delivered two days ago and mine (007 of 100) will be here on Tuesday:
Here's Mine: MusicMikes 08 Collector
Here's Leslie's: Visions\'s 08 Colletor
I'll do a full write up and pic's next Tuesday but I can say these are really sweet! Lite weight and great sound!
This is only part of my Holiday news: more to come! |

Location: Blue Ridge Mountains | Right time and right place: I'd call Al asap! Al, I was waiting to share this and looks like the timing is just right! I wanted a match for the 1688 (and decided to not go with a 1687...) and whoa....is this the cats meow or not?
Let me say again: CALL AL! CALL AL! CALL AL!!!
:D ;) :rolleyes: |

I would definitely be up for a wide neck if available but WOW...what a beauty. The guys at the mothership really outdid themselves this time. |

Location: SoCal | Beautiful guitar. If I hadn't spent the money on the OFC'er, I'd be buying this.
Mike, how did you get one before Al even announced it?
I find it interesting that 1.) Ovation is bringing back the old style Adamas, 2.) that they are charging real money for them, and 3.) they are only building 100 of these collectors (vs. about 700-1000 for other years). This is going to be a REAL collectors edition..... |

1. Right Living...
or
2. Won Lottery...
or
3. Angels watching over me...
Answer: #3 (Hint-Always Choose 3.)
Seriously!
This had to be meant to be as the guitar fund was depleated on Wednesday when I heard about it and I sold three guitars in 24 hours to be able to get it! I love it when a plan comes together!
