| Assuming there's only one Elias G Argyris he's not hard to find. He has about a million hits on google for his academic papers and a couple related to Ovation/Adamas guitars. |

Anybody who knocked out 200 shows in an orchestra pit knows how to play, no matter how long long ago it may have been. And yes, Mark, we need to get together and see how SH #45 and OFC #5 compare. I used it at last night's rehearsal and need to put a lot more hours on it. |

| I never mentioned Al.....by the way......my god how things snowball in here.......Well now I obviously made a mistake in taking your post as one from this guy. Whoops........I knew I caused some confusion so I Thought I made it fairly clear with my posted link about whom I was speaking of? If it's not clear the name and other information is in the link I posted open it up and take a look.
No one has any need to attest to anything. If your name is not Elias then my postings do not apply. Sorry Elginacres...........
I only mentioned this guy because I thought he was the same I guy I talked with a while ago. Also thought he was just another knowledgable enthusiast like some of you guy's and had owned a few of these slotheads.
Did not know anything about the rest of this personal fiasco until I went searching for his web site.
And that little web rant I found(that I will say no more about)is way unprofessional and it shows a certain weakness of character to me.
Are we all good?
As for this guitar it's not my favorite color but it is so unusual it is a real one of a kind. Good luck with the one your after Al.

Google is no help... anyone know of him? |

Location: NJ | First of all, you(and "the List") have Ron's name spelled wrong (and I don't really wanna put it out here on a private forum without his permission).
Now, MY list shows him as having(had) #30(not#31), but I could be wrong.
I seem to remember him contacting cwk2 a WHILE back, regarding advice on market value as he was contemplating selling. Bill hooked us up and we had a brief e-mail exchange. Nice guy. I vaguely remember something about him being a professional "cowboy singer" out SanDiego way, or something like that. I don't remember if he "sold" or not, but he was researching an asking price. I suggested the $10K BallPark (and I think Beal might've done the same) . . . |

Location: NJ | Re-thinking all of this, I might even have THIS wrong (except for Ron's name being mis-spelled) . . .
Ron's(now yours) # 45 came from Ackerman's, as did my #54. #42(Steve Voss) ALSO came from Ackerman's (and his name was ALSO mis-spelled).
I'm running on two hours of sleep after a solo gig last night, and having a hard time recalling if Ron or Steve was the "singing cowboy" from SanDiego . . .
Do YOU remember, Beal??? . . .
ACTUALLY;
I think that the absolute EASIEST way t'keep an accurate track of all this information is for Witko t'buy a SlotHead, . . . cuz you KNOW that 7 minutes later, www.SlotHeadGallery.com will be up and running, and I won't have to "think" anymore . . . |

Sounds like 42, 45 and 54 might share a certain Ackerman's mojo ...

Location: NJ | I paid a visit to Ackerman's a while ago.
Unfortunately, it's a mere "shell" of what it once was. The guy who owns it now originally bought his first set of drums from Mrs. Ackerman (as I had bought my first guitar).
When I was there, he had just finished clearing out a storage area and found a box of old post cards of the store from "Back in the Day". He gave me one:

Location: Blue Ridge Mountains | Reminds me of Dietze Music House in Lincoln Nebraska...1977: I bought my first Pacemaker 12 there......
Look at the Ibanez Artist 12 on the wall and the Musicman amps...Three PU Les Paul Custom...this was taken somewhere around 1976-78...man, takes me back...
Thanks Cliff!

Location: CT | I'll bet none of those guitars are re-issues or 'artist' models. The way it should be. The Ibanez double neck looks like an Artist. They were pretty reasonable back then. There's a 2670 (Randy Scruggs model - with the vine inlays and whacky peg heads) in the 48th St. Sam Ash window as I type this for...6,999.00! puh - LEEZE!

Dave I have witnesses to my TWO hole-in-ones in one round last month. The first one whisked just past the moving windmill arm, right into the dragon's mouth, popped out of the pipe on the lower level, directly into the hole. The second one was a perfect carom off the cement triangle, off the side curb and into the hole. |
