A BIG Round of THANKS to "The Mothership 7", XRaiderman (Bill X) and DW for doing this!!

This is EXACTLY what we, as O Fans, needed to have to Celebrate the Re-Birth, and make the Statement that Ovation is Back, and seriously Ready to Roll! They did a Great Job of building the excitement, back from the 4th of July with the Videos, to the Re-Launch Celebration! Everyone was worked into a fevered pitch!!

It had to have been allot of work to pull it all together, and make the Day so Extra Special. And even for those of us who could not be there in person, the excitement here was palpable waiting to see videos and pictures of what would be coming out of the gate first! And "The Boys" did not disappoint!!! Those new Models are Beautiful, Creative, and are going hit the Market full force!

It is hard to believe that a mere 7 uber-talented, and dedicated men, are creating each and everyone one of these amazing Guitars for us! That in itself is Amazing! With the years of experience and dedication there, Bill X's savy and dedication, and DW's creativity, and belief in the Product, I see a really Great Future for Ovation/Adamas! I can't wait to see what comes out of that small shop over the next years. It is going to be Amazing!!

You Done Good BiLL X!!! Thank You for making it such a Special Day for all of us!

And speaking of Kevin's guitar. He gave me permission to take as many pics as I wanted for the calendar. I can't use them all, so put on your bib, start saving your cash, and enjoy!

How's that for a tease?!

THANK YOU Patch!!!

HOLY BUCKETS those are Sweet!!! LOVE everything about them! The inlays, the wood binding, the RED Carbon Fiber, the Phoenix, they are just Fantastic!!! The attention to detail is SO Ovation!!! The Legacy Continues! And this is just the Beginning!! So much to look forward too!! (once I get my hands on one of those Red Adamas with the Slot-head and Phoenix!!!)

Looks like my tool room is going to have to go out in the barn - I am going to need that room too! The bedroom can go too, OH! and the store-room!

(I think Kevin is just a Cutie, he is holding his New Guitar like a little boy with his first pellet gun!!! He looks VERY happy!!)

Oh, I know a bunch of hipsters who would think that "a little boy with his first pellet gun" is totally politically and socially incorrect But I get your point. Well said!
(I also remember when living on Cape Cod Massachusetts was "living in the country")

And I wanna Thank Patch and PEZ and Damon and Peggy and everybody else who posted photos.
I've got them all saved on my screen-saver so I can savor another get-together that I missed... with background music.

Is REO's performance posted anywhere, or was it not recorded/video'd?

These 50th models are enticing for sure. Looking forward to seeing specs and pricing. I hope 50 of each is enough to go around.

Oh man, so do I. But, I've got to pay off something facilitated by a great act of generosity from one of our members before I can even contemplate this (and the conversation with SWMBO). Hearing REO Speedwagon, and seeing Kevin Cronin's love of Ovation, gave me a small way to say thanks - I went out and bought one of their albums (OK, I didn't go out because I have the flu, but I bought it on iTunes).

Were there any deep bowls there? The one immediately above looks like a mid. A 12 fret slothead on a deep bowl would really get my GAS churning.
