Tom, very nice collection, but where are the neon signs with which to properly display all this stuff?
Also, glad to hear you appreciate syphonic music. My wife and I have sung and performed with the Colorado Symphony Chorus for 19 years, including performances this past weekend. ProfessorBB,
Thank you. I hear you .I was just looking at an Ampeg sign on ebay but the guy wouldn't send me a picture of it lighted up ! So the search continues ! Do you have any neon ?
I'm on the Board of Trustees for a local College(my undergrad alma Mater). One of my greatest thrills is to attend commencement each year. It is held at Kleinhans Music Hall; where the Buffalo Philharmonic performs. I get to sit on stage with the President and other notable dignataries. There are only 2 rows of us and directly behind us is the Buffalo Phiharmonic Chorus who perform every year. It gives me goose bumps to be so close to so many great voices. One of the Professors of the college(who was there teaching when I was 35 years ago) is in the chorus as well.
I very much appreciate symphonic music and am pleased to know you. I hope you appreciate what a great "gig" you have ! I unfortunately have no talent singing or otherwise; so I buy lots of gear to make up for it. It still hasn't made me play or sing any better !
Best regards,
Tom |

Welcome and thanks for posting the excellent pictures of your great guitars.
I am in awe of your incredible collection. I really like how your straps compliment the style of each guitar. |

Brad Grif,
Thank you. And thanks for noticing the attempt at coordinating the strap to the Guitar.Slipkid, thanks for noticing also. The amazing thing is that most of the Straps were not custom made but just came out of Bob's stock straps . He was very inpressed himself how well it all worked out.
The strap for the white SG Special was semi-custom made. SRV used to wear a strap that was black with white notes so I asked Bob( the strap artisan) to reverse it which he did and it worked out great.
I'm actually thinking about buying this strap for the Ovation. Here is the guitar:
and here is the strap;
Let me know what you think.
Regards,
Tom |

Perfect...
The "diamonds" goes with the fret markers well enough and the color is right on. |

Millenium CrimsonLake,
Thank you. For the Millenium you have a number of choices, none of which would be Blue !
Here is my Blue guitar and Strap:
The color of the strap matches the fretboard and back of the guitar; the silver conchos match the birds on the finger board and the gold center of the conchos matches the gold hardware.
For the Millenium I would pick up on the major light colored wood around the soundholes and possibly consider something like this:
Also since the back of your guitar is black you could go with black with some turquoise in the center of some conchos like this:
But I think that because of the large amount of black on the deep bowl I'd go with a black strap and have something custom made to go with the wood tones on the front.
Go here to get ideas:

You can get anything you want embroidered onto a leather strap; you are only limited by your imagination. Here is one of the embroidered straps I had made recently; can you guess what one of my hobbies is :

I really hope that you haven't ended the picture show yet!
"More, more" they cried out, as thousands of lighters lit the auditorium with the distinct glow of appreciation. |

Weaser P,
There is no green area on the left side of my screen. So I still can't access the Gallery

Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains | Hey this is great! I'm making copies of all of Dr. Tom's pics, then leaving them spread out on the kitchen table. When Mrs. Professor sees this, she might conclude that my little collection in the studio is, in fact, quite modest. On the other hand, let's start watching the papers . . . some touring group may be missing their equipment truck! |

Location: Boise, Idaho | Tom, you are jumping to the intro page. Either go back to www.ovationfanclub.com or just click on Ovation Fan Club at the bottom of the page and either will get you the green bar.
Professor, you found someone crazier than you. Good luck with trick number 5 or 6 in my list of tricks that didn't work. I tried it with Dave's Ovation Gallery and even visited his house and showed her pictures. "Look, honey. Here's a guy whose sicker than me!" or "You thing I'm bad, look at this guy!" has never been a very good argument for me. I just can't understand why she's so unreasonable. |
