Location: GATLINBURG TENNESSEE :)		What models were each of the Flag motiff guitars? How 'bout some pictures of the different ones? I can't find any on the Ovation archives site or the Ovation tribute site. I've been asked to do special music on the 4th of July, so I'm starting to have GAS paings again.

Standard Legend was in that configuration also. Iffy has one of those. Think they even made a celeb with a not so detailed version of the flag, not sure though.

Wasn't there a thread about this not too long ago.

Anyway, the best flag graphic I've ever seen is the Ovation one.

Vince, you are a true GAS-oholic! GAS-oholics always have something up their sleeve :) .
I went looking for a toy guitar for my 5 year old niece. Of course, that meant a trip to GC and Daddy's "just to check out the little guitars" but I somehow also ended up trying out som adult sized guitars. Hee Hee!

This is a pretty guitar, but I think I would like it better without the "blingy" binding on it.

I LOVE the Bling! BLING, BLING, BLING.

I would have liked to see them do the fret markers in little inlaid abalone STARS! That way the neck would match the bling of the binding inlaid bling. Maybe some day I'll have a custom done that way (:

Sort of like Takamine's GOO 80th Anniversary Commemorative model? The star fret markers are even fancier than they appear in the photo, but you get the idea. According to Takamine's product manager, this model set the standard in bling for a production guitar from Takamine, albeit a limited run of only 80.



Gibson's Chet Atkins SST model also has star fret markers, but not quite as fancy.

Location: GATLINBURG TENNESSEE :)		Yeah, That's the idea, but I'd like them to not be quite that large, and arranged like the traditional CL layout. Then on the 12th fret maybe have the "Don't Tread on Me" Snake-thing. I'd call it "The American Revolution Guitar"

(ooops ... Did I just say something political?)

Now you're talkin'!

Prior to getting mine, last year I was told that there was a 'flag' on the MS shelf. Well, I contacted John and, alas, just a rumor...
