Location: Munich, Germany		First of all, I just wanted to let you have a look at a picture I made at a meeting of Karl's and my Adamas guitars. (To bad there is the 100kb-limitation - the picture in high resolution looks great!)





Second - did you know there is a German Edition of the #47 RI and the OFC guitar?

I didn't know either - since Karl,p.i. pointed me towards it:
There is one small "mistake" in the "german editions" - that no other guitar of these two series has.

It took me very long to notice it - but it is quite good to see.
So, let's start the quiz: Where is the mistake?

But that's not the "mistake".

Jeff, that is only because of the poor resolution of the picture. That's not the mistake.

Nope. But the link in my signature brings you to this site - Jerome's "ovationtribute.com" - where you will find the info you are looking for.

Edit: And a look on Dave's page will bring you the same information.

Location: Munich, Germany		No, sorry Jim. The arrows are there - you just can't see them because of the poor resolution.




The mistake is much better to see.

Location: closely held secret		Kurt, I have to keep reminding myself you're German. When you say, "The mistake is much better to see" do you mean it's easier to see or it's a good thing to see?

Location: Munich, Germany		Waskel, I meant it is even good to see although the picture has that poor resolution.

And - when you found it - you will always see it.

Location: Munich, Germany		Little Boy, how would you see that on a photograph?

But, to be serious, when Karl gave me that little quiz - it nearly took me half an hour to find it - with the guitar in my hands. But, as I said, it is clearly to see.

Location: Munich, Germany		Wow, that's impressive. Moody, p.i., I was counting on you!

It's a similarity between the two "German Editions" - and this makes them different to all the others.
