I arrived in town late Saturday and spent the day Sunday driving around the region, taking in the sights, and of course stopped by to get a sneak peak inb he windows of he new factory. The local folks were awesome too. I think they already know me a tad too well at the local watering hole Chatterly's (I showed up Monday and they knew my name and drink... I may have gone a bit overboard the night before). Speaking of the day before, it was great hanging out at The Parrot. We forced them to put the Raider game up, and what a game it was. A great way for 2 Raider fans to meet for the first time. We killed the Chargers, such a sweet sight. Most everyone's talked about the event. It was great, so was the tour, but the people... yep... the people stole the show. All the boys building and fixing our precious O's are good folk. So are the folks at the Parrot, Chatterly's, and all the other folks in attendance. Times are good. I'm excited about Ovation Part Deux. The instruments look pretty cool too.
Some driving around...
"Downtown" New Hartford
The Mothership...
I stuck my camera in the window on Sunday...
A shame seeing them not in the main building, but it's still part of the complex...
Bill's speach was iconic. I don't remember it exactly, something like... "I had a dream this afternoon... that the brotherhood of Ovation would become a reality...." Or something to that effect
It must've been the event to be at if the politicians were there during election times. Congrats on the citation guys!
Kevin and Bill
THE GUITAR!

I dig on these eppies!
I don't know if anyone mentioned, but aside from the gold leaf, the binding has metal in it too...
They carved a neck for us....

All of the pictures are "Red Blanket Photography's" usual Incredible Standards!! I love the Fall Colors!! Just wished they lasted longer! The Guitars are Amazing!! I can see in your photo's, how the wood is merged with the metal on the sound holes and teardrops, and then again with the Phoenix, they are very symbolic of Old World Craftsmanship and New Age Artistry! Very Impressive!!! And Beautiful!!! Thank You so much for the Fantastic Photos Damon! Glad that you had such a Great Time!  | ||

Damon67 - 2015-10-28 2:28 PM dvd - 2015-10-28 11:21 AM Damon, is that a brushed aluminum bridge? Or just a trick of the light? Good eye, it's aluminum. Intriguing.
Nice pics Damon. (as always) | |||
