Here is the post from the Summer NAMM show, and as a note 100 were made, but I think about half that went overseas. As you can see the Folklore was indeed produced in direct response to what folks here were looking for.

it is 4 30 I just got in from Nashville.
a couple of comments the elite T is available in shallow or mid bowls.
Guess what guys YES OVation does listen to us and therefore the limited edition folklore. Why only 100 well they want to test the market and see what if people will actually go out and buy what some of us have suggested.
I had a number of conversations with the folks at ovation and YES they really do care about what the guitars sound like and how they play. Your voices are not going unhead. We discussed how the preamps are going to get redesigned so they are warmer sounding and the current pickups that is used and some inherent problems etc.
This folklore is a step in the direction that many on the board want to see them take ie a more traditional acoustic instrument. I honestly could not make an evaluation on the sound since the Namm floor is so damn loud but I encourage you to find these in your local stores check them out and post what you think.
From what I can gather the Ovation Fan Club is not only read by the people at Ovation but is taken very seriously by them. Sure not everything we want can happen but we have a voice use it and use it wisely.
affordable and Adamas should not be used in the same sentence. If you want a rolls royce you are not going to pay for a VW

I remember that now that you mention it. Can we find out how they did in the market as a gauge of the OFC's opinion. I hope they sold out, if not we should dig into our savings and buy any that are left as I believe they would be a great investment.
