I've seen the so called defect on other adamas. Usually, they don't call it a defect. It must appear worse in person than in the picture. |

Well Noah (Bruce) was the first to send his back in. Hopefully, the factory will be sending it back soon and we can hear a first hand updated report. I am expecting to be one of the last to receive.
I asked that they practice making 99 U681T's and send me the last one.
Not an outrageous request considering what I originally received, I have already paid full price for it, and I am willing to wait.
I thought about just getting one to play in the interim. I was going to grab the U681T being dumped on eBay with the "small factory imperfection" for the Buy-It-Now. When I wrote the Dealer asking its serial#, they wrote back, "Why do you want the serial number?". I am not interested in finding out what they are trying to hide. |

Location: Waxahachie, Tx | Is it me or what? but if I'm selling something that is that collectable I think I would use a better Camera, or at least take the time to snap one that is in focus. jeeesh. I now believe that most folks that post lousy photos just plain want the picture out of focus because they want to hide something. and as far as the serial # well that should at least be displayed as part of the selling feature. They make no mention of warranty
Is the price being asked that much different from a new one from a dealer? I wonder if it has already been registerd with ovation it does say NEW though. |

Location: The Great Pacific Northwest | That one on eBay is an odd duck, especially from a store. I mean, why bother selling something on eBay that they could just send back to the factory? Or, is it really a 2nd that got out the side door somehow? |

Location: Phoenix AZ | Miles raises a good point. I'm not a dealer, but I would guess that if a dealer receives any item which is flawed he would just send it back for credit, right? Why go to the hastle of an ebay auction and take your chances. This is just a guess, but maybe the guitar was bought by a customer and returned, warranty cards never filled out so he's re-selling it as "new". Although I guess he could still return it for credit, right?
I was beat up a little bit earlier in this thread for being outspoken even though I didn't have my guitar yet (no harm , no foul), so I'll just make a general comment - It's a shame this had to happen on such a high profile guitar. I'm sure some good lessons have been learned that will benefit us all as we buy guitars in the future.

How does it look and compare to the "version" you sent back for "O" for "corrective surgery"? |

When you get your U681T back, how about posting the results to this thread.
I think it is important that when someone does a search in future years and reads this thread with all the issues, that the thread eventually ends with comments from all the happy campers who were taken care of by the mothership! |

Location: Anchorage, Alaska | I will post it here when it gets back. I'm sure I will be a "Happy Camper" because I was even with the couple minor issues it had before. Be looking for the update next Thursday... |
