Joined: December 2014 Posts: 1713 Location: Frozen Tundra of Minnesota | Thank You to everyone for their help! I found the one that *Spoke* to me, and couldn't be more thrilled!! A Member of the Facebook "The Ovation Instruments Collectors Board" Page decided to pass on this one, and posted it for anyone else to go after, and I knew the minute I saw it, that it was not an Adamas or Custom Legend that I was supposed to get, it was this one!! It is funny how you just *know* when it is the *Right* one! Please help me Welcome to the Nan-Cave my very first 12 String, a Golden Oldie! And signed by the Man Himself!!! 1968 Glen Campbell 12 String, Shiny Back, Mint Condition that will be on it's way home on Monday (PLEASE say a prayer that the Crack Curse misses this one???) Many Thanks to Dave Witko, Jay Kantor, Dan Gallo and Paul Templeman for sharing their experiences with this Guitar, I trust their judgements implicitly, and it helped make my decision quite easy!  And Thank You 2 Wheeldrummer for the help on tuning, and help! Having this one as your first, is rather intimidating!

Joined: December 2014 Posts: 1713 Location: Frozen Tundra of Minnesota | Thank You ALL SO MUCH!!! - for sharing in my Excitement - I know that it should probably go in an Oak and Glass Cabinet with lights and a Brass Name Plate on it, but I want to play it! And I have light hands, so it certainly won't be mistreated! I read that the smaller hole produces a more harpsichord-ical effect, which is like the Millennium, and I absolutely LOVE the sound she makes, so this should be twice as Beautiful (if that is possible!). Thank You again, I am just SO EXCITED!!!! | ||

Joined: December 2014 Posts: 1713 Location: Frozen Tundra of Minnesota | Love O Fair - 2016-08-21 12:31 AM I swear, Nancy, you crack me up. Last I hear you're trying to be responsible with your purse strings---then this. Let's just face it. It's hopeless. I totally blame these guys (or Thank as it is), they share knowledge and expertise, and answer all questions, so I soak it all up, then when I see something that I know is Special, I Pounce! And as much as I listen to them, I never listen to myself, so if I tell myself **No More!!** - I conveniently forget it too. I have told myself NO MORE ANIMALS too, that the ARK IS FULL!! We will see how long that lasts... (longer than the No More Guitars I hope...) | ||

Joined: December 2014 Posts: 1713 Location: Frozen Tundra of Minnesota | jay - 2016-08-21 2:28 PM OMG! Probably the Holy Grail of everything Ovation 12 string. There just cannot be that many left out there. Congrats Nancy. What a beautiful instrument and a history to boot. It would be nice to know, who actually owned this prior to the music store...so that maybe you can nail down its' roots. Certainly a calendar guitar! Hi Jay!! The Guitar was in that store on Consignment, so I asked the Owner to forward my contact information onto the Guitar Owner as I would Love to know it's history, when he got it, did Glen sign it for him, anything he would care to share about it. I am still hoping that he will contact me. | ||
