Location: London, England | hi everyone. just wanted to post here after reading for quite a while and never registering, because I only ever had an applause AA-21, but I always wished for an ovation, and so I saved up a bit of money and shelled out on a standard elite lx, which is going to arrive in 2 weeks :cool:
I'm very pleased, and from playing the s-elite lx in shops I'm pretty excited and confident that my training on humble guitars such as the applause will pay off on this new beautiful guitar (new england burst colour by the way).
I've played a lot of acoustics guitars, and to be honest, I don't know why, but I just love ovation guitars; their looks, their sound, and I guess pretty much everyone on this board does too :D
So yeah, I really enjoy reading these forums and I just wanted to share my part in our common love. |

Your journey has just begun.
I do not have any, but maybe one of the other members can send you an OFC pick for that fine new LX of yours. |

Location: London, England | Thank you very much, I actually am getting it straight from America, because in England, the same guitar would cost the equivalent of $1,900, just because it's shipped across the ocean. Luckilly I have relatives in America (philly) to bring it over in two weeks time :) .
All very exciting for a 16 year old me oh my :) |

Congratulations on your new "O" :cool:
Post pics when you can.
Be careful when visiting this site as it can produce major GAS. :D |

You'll love the LX I've played that model several times at various dealers and it really plays great.
When you get it be sure and post some photos in the members photo gallery so we can see it too!
Don't be a stranger. |

I didn't even know anything about shiny backs or whatever they are called with the metal round backs! Wow! |

The only quibble I have is with your signature... it's not true, and you'll learn it at the expense of other things!!! (in my particular instance, at the expense of a real life...) I remember thinking the same thing when I got a Yamaha acoustic, and a Tele.
I'm afraid that the full family is now 15 strong (well, 13 plus two on the way). I'm really trying to stop, honest!
Dude said it best with:

Dude. My poor ol' Yamaha got sold to a good home (we still talk, but only by arrangement), and all my acoustics are Ovations. It's a hard habit to break!
Welcome, and enjoy the comany here.

I've got your guitar in NEB as well - sweet, sweet, sweet! When you get her in your arms in a few weeks, you won't be able to take your eyes or hands off of her. She's a REAL beauty - play on! |

Welcome to the board Joe! You'll love your new O! :)
This is an odd place, but it sorta grows on you. |

The guitar arrived at my grandparents house, a week before they take it over here to england, and the colour (COLOR) is black not new england burst. It's pretty in its own right, but i ordered NEB.
Picture up in gallery for those who care.
I'm still going to enjoy it though :) |

I love the LX in black as well as NEB. The black sets off those gorgeous epaulets like no other finish. I have an 1868LX in black as well and my advice is to keep your polishing cloth and a bottle of #65 handy to keep that gloss black finish sparkling! With no fingerprints, it is stunning. With fingerprints -- you know it is loved and being played! Now, go play your LX! :D |

Nice guitar - all Os look best in black. They also look better with just the one hole.
INCOMING! :eek: |
