Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains | Great start. There are a lot of models I know nothing about. Must be some young folks in the web shop. Good websites are always works in progress. Some of us have experience with their custom shop. They're great. Dealer intervention is required and Al has always been able to get it done for me. |

Location: GATLINBURG TENNESSEE :) | I like the phrase "Go against the grain". I think that will catch the eye of a lot of young people. There's a reason you are seeing a lot of body piercings and tattoos nowadays. Perhaps they should call the guitar archives section "the old guy's page" (:
Looks like we're discovering that SOME Change is good. |

And I don't get a new computer until next year. |

Joe, you should be able to upgrade for free!
But I recommend http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/ |

Firefox eats IE for lunch!
Switching to Firefox made my internet experience sooo much better.
And it was recommended by a fellow OFC'r and I appreciate it! :cool: |

Location: The Great Pacific Northwest | The wave of the future at the moment (and I do mean at this moment) does NOT include IE. I have some reliable info, easily checked, that much of the new online technology (drupal and such) that the W3C is in the process of looking at for the HTML5 standard does NOT work on IE.
I just checked the OvationGuitars site, which seems to use some of the new standards (cudos). Firefox, Safari and Chrome, all on a PC, but does NOT work with IE.
It also works ok (not formatted correctly but works) in Opera on my phone, but not IE. |

Location: GATLINBURG TENNESSEE :) | I'd like to see the Guitar Archives section re-indexed by model types i.e., all the different Elites,Legends,Custom Legends(I only saw one on the site)Celebs, Baladeers, Classicals, Folklores, Solid Body Electrics, Jazz Guitars, Basses, and so on. To someone not knowing the model numbers, it's a bit confusing. |

Location: south east Michigan | I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for detailed historical information to be added. That's the past. This has the feel of a full-out brand re-boot. Let's be glad of that.
Re-boots can be good. Look at Star Trek.
That being said... the site seems to lack info about Adamas. |

Have checked on 2 PC's here both running IE7 (won't install IE8 as that is a Vista/Windows7 bugfest...) and haven't found any pages so far that won't load or contain 'weirdnesses'. |

"Re-boots can be good. Look at Star Trek."
I thought the Reboots were on Doctor Who. |

Why Ovation blocked IE6 does make me curious. |

We have the same issue where I work with an application that doesn't work on a MAC browser. If you bypass the "you must use IE" (in our case) all you get is a blank screen. So rather than give the customers a blank screen, they are provided information on what will work. I'm sure it's a similar situation with Ovation.
And lets face it. If you are still using IE6, than the fine enterprising folks in China and Russia have access to your bank accounts and it won't be long before you can't afford a guitar anyway. :) |
