Location: Anchorage, Alaska | It's back!!! And it's wonderful. My Adamas U681T came back home from the Mothership yesterday and it is everythng I thought it should be. The cosmetic blems it had were taken care of along with a few "other" bits of TLC. It was defenatly worth the wait by sending it back to get it "touched up". Everything that has been said about Ovation Customer Service being "TOP SHELF" has been solidified once again. Fantastic job on my guitar, fantastic comuncation with Customer Service, fast turn around, a great experience all the way around. I'm ctually kind of glad I had to send it back! It gave me a chance to deal with the Ovation folks and meet some great people along the way. This guitar is EVERYTHING I thought it would be when we first heard about them last year. Now, not only is the sound of this thing flat WONDERFUL, but it is perfect in every other way as well. Thanks again Ovation for a great job on a great guitar. |

Location: SoCal | You know, the person who got caught in the middle in all this is Al. I knew, and he knew, that Ovation would make good on these guitars, but he was the person caught in the middle having to put in his time and energy, trying to keep you guys all happy while trying to work with the factory on getting everything made right.
I doubt if he made any profit on this project or got anything besides an ulcer for his time and trouble. He is a dealer, trying to make a living.
I, for one, will order my OFC'er thru Al and know that it will either be right or that Al and Ovation will work with me to make it right. And I will always have a smile on my face knowing that I'm working with people and a company that stand behind the product and their service. |

You had commented a while ago about what looked like "Water stains" on the top of your Uterus. Could these "spots" have been caused from the irregular distribution of the gold fleck on the top? Or was it something else entirely? |

It looked like a discoloration throughout the black top....from shiny black with gold flakes to flat black with nothing. Biggest areas were under the strings and the center of the top bowl. |

I just (after all this time) noticed two spots directly behind the saddle on both upper and lower sides that look irrregular. An also a "hole" in the gold fleck that looks like a "splotch", but that is different than the spots behind the bridge.
I'm sending it back this week. |

Location: Anchorage, Alaska | Well I've have mine back now for almost a week. It just keeps getting better and better! This just could be the "ONE"! I have A,B,C, & D'ed it side by side to my , AD II, Elite, and 2005 Collectors, and there is no argument that the U681T is "#1". Sound, feel, MOJO, everything. This guitar is beyond what I had even hoped for (and I hoped for a lot). |

Let us not forget what is soon to be released as well as what lies in the next 2-4 years!
These guys (O)have tremendous potential and talent for launching some surprises on us!
I am thinking I can sneak in one guitar per year starting with the Adamas III twelve string coming after Christmas (optimism??). Would love to have a #47 reissue but I don't think it financially feasable. Still want to hold a Custom Elite LX twelve string.
My strategy is to keep a constant rotation of ebay guitars coming in and going out (the hardest part) so as to dazzle the SONAR.
Oh the Gasseous voices calling... |
