MWAH!!! BIG Hug MWoody!! You are right!!!
It is SO COOL that instead of mourning the demise, we are discussing the re-birth!!!
And I apologize for my pissy attitude, I want this to work SO badly, I get a wee bit Momma Bear. My apologies for inflicting that on Family!

Location: Indiana		Don't count "young" folks out. There are many 20 somethings still playing real guitars, making authentic original music. I meet them all the time at the festivals I play. They may not have major label deals, but independents have vast avenues these days. The music business as we older pharts knew it is gone, but there's a brave new world for passionate innOvators. A ripe market for DW Ovation.

Through a local music store, I know three women in their 20s who invited me to see them play. It was pretty cool to see the guitarist and bassist playing on plugged-in Ovation acoustics.

These weren't new or top-of-the-line instruments, but they liked them for being workhorses.

Once they get more established, it would be cool to see such groups get approached by whatever will then be the current form of Ovation AR.

Especially since they already like Ovation, it would be nice if they wound up getting Ovation a little more visibility among the vastly underserved market of female rockers... and young girls who have aspirations of such. Melissa Etheridge and Kaki King are cool to have as examples, and it would be great to see Ovation starting to gain in the market currently courted mostly by Luna Guitars.

Anyway, I can see from a quick glance at the map that we have strayed greatly from the actual subject of this topic, ordering one of the 50th Anniversary models for oneself, so I'll let those with more money than I get on with it. Sorry for taking this conversation off-road for a spell!

If you look at many of the past threads here, you will see that each separate post is kind of like a river - as it flows along, there are splits, and tributaries, and other smaller rivers joining in. They get really moving, and very interesting to watch and join in!! So please, never feel bad about adding in, even if it is off the normal flow, these little off shoot trips are fun, and everyone usually learns something new!

They either do, or do not go back on subject, but the conversations are fun, and interesting!

I like the idea of Ovation helping the younger people get some exposure using their guitars, it would be beneficial for both parties!

Location: Frozen Tundra of Minnesota		I would think that they are getting the NAMM Guitars ready now, and any other new Introductions that will be shown, but still working on the 50th's in between times. I am sure they need to have the NAMM ones done in advance for pictures, ads, etc.

If we have a First Order Delivered Pool, I will go for Mid-March!

Is anyone here going to NAMM? Will you take pictures and share here, so we can see what is being shown??

Location: Boise, Idaho		Nancy, maybe you should start a new thread asking if anyone's going to NAMM. I don't mean to be anal about staying on topic, but someone who is going might be more likely to see the question if it's in a thread title.
We used to get good reports from members who went, but I don't know if that was true since the demise of Ovation. I'll have to do a search.

If I asked Al we would get an answer. Post the question here and we get opinions, conjecture and assumptions. Which makes for better reading?

It's like watching a newscaster:

It would be a simple change, but on the regular black cases, where the Silver Ovation Logo is on the front, change it to be Gold for the 50th Anniversary Pieces.

Do we need to brief xraiderman on our requirement for side door access for the sound check?
