Location: The Great Pacific Northwest | It almost makes ya think the web guy at Ovation was reading this thread and making changes as they came up. Just mentioning this in case anyone doubts for a moment that they read this site everyday just like us. :) |

Location: Capital District, NY, USA Minor Outlying Islands | Since it looks like they read this, then I'd like to recommend (not that anyone would pay attention to what I say) that as a requirement for the people who write the content for the website they be required to play guitar and that they be given either as a loan, at cost or as payment, an adamas guitar so they know what they are writing about. Then they would know what the guitar is made out of, scale length, that some of the pictures are upside down, that they should have a sound sample etc ... Anyway, the website is a step in the right direction and should evolve nicely. |

Location: SoCal | I've played Ovations for 30 years and I have no idea what the scale length is, except the it goes from here to over here.
But somebody besides us needs to be proof reading this stuff. |

Location: Phoenix AZ | Well Paul, I guess the good thing is that when you wear out the first 3 frets you can just swap them with other frets wires form higher up the neck, right? |

So why don't they just make the first 3 frets out of tougher materials? |
