That's why I always take an Adamas up there in the winter. It's either that or become less forgetful as I get older and I know that's not going to happen. | ||

Joined: September 2005 Posts: 3619 Location: GATLINBURG TENNESSEE :) | I usually only take may Adamai out in the winter, the only thing I have noticed is the tuning goes out a little. I DON'T leave them out in those temps though. Good Luck. | ||

Joined: August 2002 Posts: 8307 Location: Tennessee | All that matters is that you had the guitar out and were playing it ... show me a guitar that is pristine and you'll show me one that doesn't get played the way it should. Show me one with scars, and I'll ask to hear the stories of it getting played and the people you touched with it. Ergo, there was no abuse involved. And fer cryin' out loud, it's only an Ovation. It's not like it's a real guitar. But we gotta talk about this no sex and no food situation you got going on ... | ||

Sounds horrid, but is that really any different than a guitar sitting in the back of an unheated UPS or FedEx truck for 2 or 3 days as it travels across country? Other than that, you're right, there probably isn't much difference. :cool: | ||
