Location: Paris/France | Hi,
This evening was a special one because my Balladeer shiny bowl (#1987) was waiting for me at home.
It was magical when I've open the old chipboard case and when I've seen that beauty for the first time.
She's got some marks of its age but it's a wonderful guitar and I can't tell you how it sounds!!
I'm simply amazed by the projection of such an old Lady and without any doubt, it's one of the best Ovation I've ever heard.
So sweet and so powerful at the same time;
The action is near to be perfect and the frets are in very good condition that's why she's so easy to play.
My fist intention was to have a shiny bowl as a collector item but now I'm sure that she will not stay in her case because she really deserves to be played... ;)
I'm so happy !!! 
J :)

Beautiful guitar! |

I'm so glad to see you there.
Remy is one of the greatest O's fan in France, he's much more crazy than me and he's the lucky owner of this wonderful ADAMAS SLOTHEAD!!!
I'd like to mention that he's a very good guitar player and I'm lucky to be his friend.
Welcome "Doc"!!!  :D :D :D

Location: SoCal | Remy also bought my Country Artist cutaway, about a year and a half ago. I'm certain that it sounds better in his hands than it did in mine. It can be seen in the picture for January in the current calender.
Was that slothead one of Marcel's? |
