Location: Marlton, NJ | I would chastise you for going into Philly without calling us in South Jersey (20 minute drive). There are a few of us down there - Al, myself Fuzzy, TommyM.
This is my first time in Idaho. One big long valley! It was my first time in Utah too. I think I'm down to about 5 or 6 states I haven't been to. |

Location: Sunshine State, Australia | This '07 must have a considerably different bracing pattern to other Elites.
I can see one of the braces through one of the holes, but that brace doesn't exist on my Elite.
Interesting... |

Is it new or FRG as you may have been thinking earlier? |

CrimsonLake should have had perfect sight seeing weather for his drive. There was a touch of fog along the Great Salt Lake just after dawn, but up north it looked clear and a million miles viz all day. You know, there is a great locally based airline that coulda flown you into Idaho... |

Chris, it sounds nice. As it's a USA Ovation, I'd be surprised if it didn't.
As nice as the '05? Can't say. I'm EXTREMELY biased.
Couple of little things, nothing serious. Action is too high. Need to take a shim or 2 out and the neck needs a little tweak. If your ability is truly how you describe it, the action shouldn't bother you til you finally 'reveal' it to SWMBO. It's a pretty straight forward procedure - we'll talk you through it.
On-board tuner doesn't work. Battery is fine though, almost blew my tongue off. :eek: Could be that you need a dummy plug?
I'll try it plugged in later on and see if it fixes it. I don't need a dummy plug on the '05, but that tuner is so innacurate, I don't use it anyway.
I seriously want your case though. |

We can pull some shims out on Saturday if you want Chris. Can also give the neck a tweak, but you'll have to finish it off, because it's a tweak, wait, tweak job. |

I sound terrible plugged in. Really. Every mistake amplified, the good stuff barely audible. No wonder I play only acoustically.
Nothing wrong with the guitar though Chris - and the tuner is spot on. VERY accurate. (To my ear)
Just noticed that the washer around the 1/4" jack is rusty. Not a problem, just cosmetic. |

Careful Muzz zapping yourself will make your hair go curly :D |

Hey Richard, was the case that came with the '08 an old brown one covered in scratches? Same as Chris's... |
