| I guess it's going to get quiet round here for a while, Jeff will be out dancing naked in the woods and howling at the moon for a day or two.
I gotta go look for a greetings card with a stork and an Ovation - I may be gone sometime.
Miles - can you set up a separate "New Fathers Only" post where thay can meet privately and go coochy-coo over their new offspring........
One person getting a new O is a joy to read about. But 8 of 'em? |

Location: Earth·SolarSystem·LocalInterstellarCloud·Local Bub | I have been to the mountain top....Just F@#king WOW.
After three tunes (Angie, Wish You Were Here, Redemption Songs)....
Clarity and Separation are phenomenal.
Not as bassy as 1537, but a beautiful round bottom (eh-em) yet, bright with wonderful ringing over tones.
Its a thunderstick very loud and it stays right with me strumming hard and aggressively.
holds it's tone and volume really well up the neck (which by the way ends a little sooner than a 14fret, whoops)
The neck is terrific. Fast, shallow half round profile...not the soft V as on 1537. Kinda almond color satin finish
There is a slight rattle or vibration in the pre-amp/tuner housing that will bug the hell out of me till remedied, but probably only those with good ears would pick up on.
Sound board just rumbles. when you tap it it just springs to life. It has light gold flecks.
Hands down one the best sounding guitar I have ever heard... I wish someone else was here to play it in front of me. |

Women just don't act that way. (This is a compliment not a criticism). |

That much KA-Boom. It really sings. Really.
...Schroeder, Good thing I have no neighbors, not waiting for the moon to rise. (Oh, and be glad I'm not posting in the new language I've undertaken)
Stephen,
It's competition. Sorry, Dave.
Thanks Persephone, and thanks for the stellar spring day. |

Location: NJ | People that have purchased stuff from me KNOW that I recycle and I use EVERYTHING in packing the guitar. I once had a ups claim turned down because the box was not double thickness. Even though Ovation boxes are approved ups cartons I try to put something in there between the case and box.
laugh if you must but the guitar got there on time and safely and that is the most important thing to me. |

Location: Latitude 39.56819, Longitude -105.080066 | Nice quick review...sounds great.
I can't wait for a full on review and from everybody else as they start to filter in.
Maybe....just maybe....I will be happy that Al shipped mine out with a weekend stay at the pit of hell, if it arrives safely (fingers crossed).
Having to wait another full week with all the howling at the moon that might be going on could become unbearable.

I thought the pizza box was a joke relating to a previous thread in which I was lamenting the total lack of decent pizza in these parts.
Thanks for being careful with her. |

You'll be glad. Remember, these things are plastic. Hell, I'm taking it into the hot tub a little later.
Northcountry,
Send along your address. |

Location: boulder | Jeff, my serial # is 21127. Is yours really just 38 or does it end in 38?
As for sound. :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) kids it's gonna be a good year.
the sound is clear and light, if that makes sense, the guitar is light in weight, th eneck is fat but not to hard to get around. The fingerboard is glued down.
I think this guitar is worth every penny. New Hartford has hit it out of the park. thanks guys. mike |
