On the Ovation news page I see that are making a cool limited Olympic commemorative guitar with a picture of a Panda (snicker)apparently trying to... I can't even type this without laughing.
Well, you be the judge. I think the only thing missing is the "blue-flame" shooting out of his butt...
Let's all celebrate panda love and peace... Fooom!!! LMAO :p :D :p :D |

I do kinda like the fade, though. |

I'm with Wabbit, that blue fade is OK! |

Did they know? Or is it just OUR minds?

Given the world wide hype the Olympics brings I'd bet that they will sell enough to justify the design and marketing. |

Location: Tennessee | Good on them. This is a Chinese guitar with a Chinese theme being made in the Chinese Ovation factory and sold to the local Chinese market. The "addressable market" is huge over there.
BTW, this is not too far off from the bobbo signature model I spec'd out a few weeks back. |
