Location: Anchorage, Alaska | A couple weeks ago while on the phone with Ovation I asked about shipping dates for the U681T and was told they would ship before the end of March. Al have you heard anything new? |

Location: Tampa, Florida | I am waiting on mine, too! I spoke to Al yesterday and he told me anytime, I think he has 7 coming. He said he hasn't heard anything but Ovation surprises him sometimes. |

Stephen asked if "Bongo Boy" would sign his U681T. We've made all necessary arrangements, just send them both to my address. I'll sign his and get it back to him. |

| You guys are like a ship load of sailors after a 3 month voyage hanging over the rail desperate for a sight of a woman. Get a grip.
Some of us have still got a three month wait. |

Sure I'm anxious for the guitar and being out a pocket full of money with nothing to show for it yet is not fun. But I have no problem waiting a few more months for what I know will be a killer of a guitar.

Fun to do while not playing the guitar you're waiting for...I find Stephen to be particularly amussing, cause he just can't stand it. |

What's that....I can't hear you Jeff. Is it raining outside or is that you crying loudly in your beer :p |

Location: Latitude 39.56819, Longitude -105.080066 | Actually, better than I was expecting.
First impression was awesome but I was afraid once the newness factor wore off I would become a little less jaded and more critical.
After playing it for a little over a week, I believe it to be even better than I first thought.....mainly because the range of tones is much wider than I expected. Recorded tones (to my ears anyway) are indistinguishable from the real animal. Rock Strat, Blues strat, chickin pickin tele, rock tele.....all the sounds are there.
If only I could play as good as the riffs I hear in my head! :(
Did you ever get the Event TR8's? |

Are you now...or...have you ever been a member of the Pepiakist party?
far as we know, you could be perpetuating a sinister disinformation campaign aimed to lure us into an aggitiated state of anticipation, so that you might further infiltrate the highest echelons of... Gee Whiz, I can't wait!! |

Gee Whiz, I can't wait!! believe me, I am waiting as impatiently as all of you. i made my decision pretty late so i haven't been waiting as long, though. I am now converting my entire arsenal to Ovation though, while I wait. I have bought a 90's elite, and am shopping for a 1771LX Balladeer. In the end I will have the Slothead, Elite T, 1771LX, 6718 Elite, and a beater or two of other brands (Art and Lutherie, Epiphone). Maybe another Ovation to come. |
