Location: Steeler Nation, Hudson Valley Contingent | I haven't bought a new one in about 3-4 years I guess. But, I've pumped LOTS of $$$, especially for me, into repairs and complete rebuilds at the factory. In fact, I'll be paying my largest guitar bill ever (including the cost for my Martin D-42) when it comes due from New Hartford in the next few months. |

Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains | My last new Ovation/Adamas was the custom 1187 SSB ordered in 2009 and received in 2010.
Four other customs since 2007 from Ovation/Adamas, plus several more customs from their kinfolk manufacturers, the latest having arrived within the past month.
Of course, Mr. Big is my Man! |

Reading the responses it's no wonder the concentration is now on custom and/or limited runs. That seems to be mostly what people are admitting to. |
