Joined: June 2005 Posts: 1320 Location: Round Rock, TX | I was in my local Gtr Ctr this afternoon and there were two LX's (a C2078 LX and a 6773 LX) as well as a 1778T and a (used) 1867 Elite hanging on the BOTTOM ROW! Yes, you read it right - the bottom row. Within easy reach of any and everyone. Well, that about wraps it up for the universe's continued existence, as this is, I'm pretty sure, the final sign of the apocalypse. | ||

Bow your heads, and shield your eyes. The Time Of The End Is Near. (Big Deal! I didn't wanna go alone anyway!) | ||

It doesn't mean the end of anything. It just means we'll continue to have quality instruments at a very reasonable price. | ||

All they need is a leather strap hook and a 6" patch of carpet to keep the wall off of the bowl. My guess is that the life expectancy of a badly priced Ovation in a Music Store is 3 times that of a wood box. | ||

Of course, while I was there I saw a father take the 2078 and hand it to his [couldn't be older than] 6 yr old son, who proceeded to drop it. Only the quick action of the sales guy saved it from a nasty knock. My first thought was, "Man, they need to put these things up higher..." | ||

If I wanted to spend that I woulda (see below). If they put the Ovations lower, so that more people would try them, maybe they would sell more. Also if the ever got some USO's, thery might sell more. That would be a Good Thing? Or not? http://cgi.ebay.com/OVATION-6751LX-LX-SERIES-12-STRING-WITH-CASE-GR... Wish I had a stray $800! | ||
