Location: Warren,Pa. | The '97 has a bigger sound than you would think to look at it. It's been my experience that it's sound isn't big enough to have it as your only guitar. The sound isn't versatile enough.
I have 3 Ovations so it's great to have a '97 in the mix. My congregation gave it to me for my 50th.
At the present I've got it strung up with high octave strings. I tried to use it for a song during Sat. night/Sun. morning worship, but it's got some sort of electronics trouble and I had to put it aside. Gotta call Kim tomorrow about that.

Location: Keepin' It Weird in Portland, OR | I see all these listings that say cracked, but don't affect sound. I really need to learn more so I can judge what cosmetic, and what is fixable (by me).
BTW- Thankz GGG. Hey JP, I had a friend born ON Christmas, so he really got cheated. But when he was a toddler, he thought all the decorations were for Him! |

Location: ms | I decided to pass. It has a 1-11/16 nut and a crack or two. I would have let the cracks slide at that price but i really wanted the wide nut. Thanks Mitzdawg for your offer to check it out further, and i know you will do the same for any member here. |

Aw, I needed a screen name, and King Arthur sounds too pretentious. |
