Location: New Hartford, CT | the only Ovation I own right now, is a 1993 collectors series... I've had many others over the years!!...There was a time when anyone that worked there could sign out any guitar they wanted for a few days to try them out....that was cool!!! |

Location: Alberta, Canada | Paul. much appreciated. I really wasn't sure what was on the guitar and the Ovation site just says they are Deluxe Chrome. I have always been impressed with these, now I know why. Thanks.
With the guitar at the factory, I thought perhaps if an upgrade was warranted I would go for the gold and pearl. Now you got me thinking again. |

Location: New Hartford, CT | WOW!......put a blow dryer on the back, peel it off ...clean glue off with mild nail polish...these guys don't work at the KAMAN helicopter factory!!.......lol!!! Originally posted by Tupperware:
OK, first question for you. Hypothetically if someone is placing an order through a dealer for a custom spec'd guitar in the $3000.+ list price range and is willing to pay even MORE to have them OMIT the label on the inside of the bowl, why will they NOT do it? I DON'T WANT A F*CKING LABEL AND SOME GLUE NAZI INSISTS THAT I MUST HAVE ONE AND INSISTS THAT IT HAS TO BE EXACTLY IN THIS CERTAIN SPOT.
Sorry to dump this on you at our first encounter (I'm actually a very nice guy). But THIS is driving me f*cking nuts. I hate the damn label, I hate how it looks, I hate where it's located. I swear to christ I'm going to take a big freaking TAYLOR label and stick it right over the Ovation label and be done with it. How hard could it possibly be to hit me with some additional upcharge and send the damn LABEL guy on break for 2 minutes when my custom order rolls through his work area?
Welcome to the OFC. Dave |

Location: Boise, Idaho | Flume, Tupperware is the deranged alter ego who took over the body of StandingOvation, who was also deranged, but at least had a respectable name. He does have a great guitar collection, but it seems to have been overtaken with his tupperware collection. He started collecting real plastic bowls and Martins instead collecting plastic bowl guitars. |

the Schaller factory is a stone's throw away from my home:
Can I you help you with your Helmut Schaller history project?
BTW, I'm toying with the idea to arrange an European OFC gathering at the Schaller factory next year.

Location: Budd Lake, NJ | Welcome, Plume;
You have been thoroughly initiated now in all the orthodox OFC ways; our site is definitely not for the faint of heart or thinner-skinned guitar player. ;)
But, having said that, the folks who visit here are also compassionate, caring, helpful, watchful in the matter of on-line sales, good friends--so please accept this gentler welcome from an Ovation-playing sister.
--Karen and the teeming masses:
1111-4 "Gertrude;" CE868LX-4 "Jewel;" maple Tornado (not named yet); Viper 1271-4 "Blanca;" Guild D-50 "Gilda;" America Strat "Ivory;" Steinberger Spirit 5-string bass "Sugar;" Galiano mandolin "Plink;" Vega 5-string banjo "Twang;" fiddle of uncertain antecedents "Shriek" |
