I sent for one also. Ought to be great for when I kick back on the sofa with my legs stretched out and crossed onto the coffee table. Shouldnt need a strap and that would be nice because I could STAY relaxed, not having to prop one leg up to hold the geetar. Hope it does the trick.
Looking forward to the new Slip-Grip.

Hey!! Did everyone get theirs? all I can say is Mmmm.....FuZZzy.....

I want to cover the entire bowl with this stuff!!

Yo Slip!! Any application suggestions (besides the instructions)? I almost want to wrap it "over" the edge of the corner, but I doubt I could get it down nicely over the inside to outside compound curve transistion....

It would be nice upholstery for the bowl, wouldn't it?

Ok, first impression. If you could have the paper backing split it would be a lot easier to get off - I had a heck of a time getting it started. I put it on my CL12 (even though I know they're the same size, it feels bigger than the Adamas). It's really the only one I have any problem keeping on my lap because a. more pressure on the fretboard and b. it's heavier. And like I said, for some reason it feels bigger.
I have to admit I like it so far. The guitar stays where I put it on my leg, even with it farther out and tipped back on top - no slidin.
Time will tell if the adhesive can hold up to several hours of body heat without slipping on the bowl.

+1 on the split paper backing.

I put mine on aan pulled it back off to re-position it a couple of times before I pressed it down. Good presure sensitive adhesive can take lots of heat and abuse. It'll be intersting to see if it "migrates" over time. Since the bowl is textured, I would suspect it wont. As the Wabbit stated, the 1763 says put.

Fred, what was abnormal about your 1763 that you list it as being "Back to normal"?

Oh,

I had loaned it to a buddy of mine from Guitar Center, and had thrown some other (nice) strings on it whlie my favorites were on order. Anyway, he flat out skipped town on me!! With my 1763!! Not really, but it makes for a better story. He had to move back home to Palm Sprngs. It took a few weeks to finally hook up, but I got it back in fine condition and put Savarez 520P1's (yum!!) back on it. Hudson should be a member even if doesn't currently own an Ovation. He's an amazing guitarist, and very knowlegable about all things guitar. He truely appreciates the quality, sound, and playability of these guitars, especially the Adamas models. But, I'm glad to be back to normal. I missed it, and it's often the first guiar I want to play when I get home, and now, It's warm and fuzzy in one place. And doesn't slip off my lap!!

You play it more than your Ute? I like my 1713, but I don't think I'd play it much if I had a U681T.

Mark,

I definately play my U681T more. I often take it with me to work etc. The 1763 is just SO EASY to play, and fun in a different way. I like the 1624's and other nylons, but the 1763 and 1713 are true classicals, with a wide scalloped finger board. Totally different to play, and remarkable sounding with the right strings!!

hmmm. Not good. Played the test guitar for about an hour yesterday, then hung it back on the wall. This morning I find the slip grip still attached at the ends, but bridging the waist, detached. Stuck it back on. We'll see.

Fred, I agree. I've been practicing Classical Gas on the 1624. Last night I pulled down the 1713 and just loved the sound and the way it plays. Only problem is it's really hard to barre with that wide, flat fretboard.

Scalloped? I had no idea Ovation had ever done that. How deep is the scallop?
