Location: Boise, Idaho | I was just cleaning up the mess in the music room last night and ran across an Ovation ad for the flame models. The didn't appeal to me, but I sure appreciate Ovation continuously proving that they were thinking out of the box. If they didn't use that for an advertising slogan, they should have. |

Any chance you'd be willing to let me have that? I would frame it and hang it in the room. |

This brings up the old question "If your House caught fire and (after all the people are out) you had just enough time to grab one guitar... "
With all those Flame guitars would you be able to see them if the house is on fire?
Just sayin... |

Honestly I'd have to grab one of two guitars, neither of which are american made or worth much of anything to anyone but me |

You need to track-down a Gray one too.
(Yeah, mostly NS basses... But I have seen a Gray Flame T guitar also)

PM me your address. Since I didn't know I had it, I obviously don't need it. I really liked what Ovation was doing in 2005 and 06, when I just started on this board and they had some nice sales brochures.

I would love to track down a grey one (when I have the money of course). I have honestly never seen one other than the NS basses. I have seen a red one with a painted bowl once, that was pretty cool, but I'd scratch it up. I play the hell out of all of them. They aint just for lookin at : ) |

Well they are certainly not a realistic looking flame, they are definitely stylized. If they were real looking flames I wouldn't like them near as much. These look like 60's hot rod flames. I believe that's were the inspiration came from anyway. |

I think your right. These look much better in person than they do in pictures though. I can't really take a good picture to save my life : ) |

You could send the Addamas to OMA for modification... |
