For me, the choice would be between the 2005 collectors, or (and I've never played one) an Al Di Meolo in natural. (the black looks too 'bling')
I haven't played my 2005 enough to determine if the contour bowl is versatile enough. It sounds great, but if it didn't live up to expectation, I'd go for the ADM. |

| I don't know what I'm doing next week let alone Christmas. But I could safely bet that I will be available to drink beer in SE London. |

Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains | If I could only keep one guitar, it would be my Viper EA-68. It isn't perfect, but it does a great job believing it is both an acoustic and an electric. Fortunately, this is not a decision I will ever have to make. |

Location: SoCal | If I had to make a decision right now, today,based upon what I've got and the state of everything today, it would probably be the GC RI. Later this year, it might be the OFC guitar. But then, if I could scrape together the cash to send my 1537 back to the factory for an upgrade (install new 2 knobber electronics, new jumbo frets, clean the fretboard, minor cosmetic stuff, etc) then that might be "The One"..... |

I actually had to put the guitar in the case and stash the case in the way back closet. I knew if I kept playing it I'd never want to sell it. What a nice, nice guitar. I've had 1537's and Custom Legends and all that kind of stuff. But nope, those are a lower notch on the pole than the 1627 RI. It's a shame that Ovation did such a terrible job to promote it. This guitar should have sold by the thousands.

1. 2080D
2. 1984 C-Series
3. 1689 slothead
Those are the three Ovations that I play and in that order too. |

| you guys are crazy knowing all these model numbers and all. I really have to read up more on ovations and hear more of them. When you guys talk it just flies over my head |

Location: Indiana | I guess I would say my "Book" Elite as far as Ovations. Only because if I ever get tired of playing , I could still marvel at the way it looks. To include everything else, I would have to keep my 62 Fender Jazz Bass.

If you could own only 1 ovation which one would you choose?
