Location: USA | What is the buzz on production of ovations going overseas?
Ive read that most of the production will be heading that way...
Does this mean stock will rise? less American made? The end of American made?
Im already seeing the lack(the more lack of) Ovation and Admas guitars in music shops
Buy them up now! |

Location: Omaha, NE | I was under the impression that the US plant was operating at near capacity. With the transfer of Guild production there, something's gotta give. Makes sense to me to move low end Ovation production to Korea and reserve CT production for high end O's, H's and G's. |

Location: Scotland | Het Styll, Another buzz says the world is going to end sometime pretty soon. Do you believe that too? I'm sure I'm not the only one who is really sick and tired of this. some of you guys need to start thinking for yourselves instead of posting your asinine "is Ovataion/Hamer dead?" questions here, or telling us what "you've read" from yet another internet forum whose "information" is nothing but wild speculation with no evidence or substance.
No, Ovation is not "going under"

Ovation will be around a long time. |

Buy them up now! Hey Styll... Long time no read...
Let me start my Own Rumor-- This is all a Marketing Plan by Fender... And It Works!
I have never bought a New Ovation, ever... But I have TWO coming Now!
Ever seen them Furniture Stores that have been "Going Out Of Business" for the last Two Years? :D

Location: USA | lol i hear you...It definitely worked.
However it is getting harder to find High end Os and Adamas models... the music stores here just will not touch them anymore
Might have to take a ride to Als...
My last purchase was The Elite T with The op pro...Its an absolute amazing guitar. My friend is hinting for me to sell it because he cant find it anywhere... All mine :)
I sent him your way Al... |

Buy them up now! I just found this message board and you ask a question like that? LOL!
As my grandad used to say..."Don't believe anything you hear and only HALF of what you see".
As far as Fender's reputation...I hear it is a LOT better than Gibson as far as taking over companies. Fender does OK, but Gibson seems to be the touch of death for every company they take over.
Maybe that is why TC Electronics decided that merging with Gibson was not in their best intrest! I am glad,as they make so GREAT electronic effects for the guitar! (G System anyone? Or the new Nova system? )
From what I can tell, the 2008 ovation adamas is a great guitar and well built. That does not sound like a guitar made by a company going under. |

Location: Sunshine State, Australia | Hey Styll, welcome back. I was wondering what had happened to you. You had a PM in your letter box from me for quite a few months. I deleted it a few weeks ago. Thought you'd gone over to Taylor or something worse.
Sorry to hear your life got in the way of your OFC fun. Now you're single, there's no excuse.
Don't mind Temp, he's becoming Scottish. :D |

Location: Blue Ridge Mountains | Even in my increasingly aged and forgetful condition I remember the chorus to a song (quite a big hit at the time):
"Come on People now,
smile on your brother,
Everybody get together,
try and love one another right now"!
BTW: the word for "love" there is agape': a Koine' Greek word meaning: always thinking the best and always doing the best for others.
Something to that I think! |

Is Ovation going under?
