If anyone isn't aware, Jerome has an outstanding website...check it out web page

Jerome even sends out a nice newsletter...all you need to do is register.

He is also compiling a list (with pictures) of the 47RI's.

He has # 3, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 19, 23, 24, 33, 34, 35, 42,and 47.

As the owner of # 3, I wonder where are # 1 and # 2??

Oh Yes, ovationtribute.com is an amazing website!

I'm sure that even the guys at the factory visit Jerome's website when they're looking for specific informations! :D

Tony, take yours over to the Town and Country resort today and loan it to my wife so she can bring it back here for me to try out. I'll return it when I get to San Diego next year.

They may be all spoken for from a dealer's standpoint but I don't believe they are all sold yet.

Production seems to be in the 50's (sn) but it might be in the 60's by now.

I know where a couple are still available (as of yesterday), if interested.

I believe Al has a few 47RI's coming in that are not yet spoken for. Contact him for details. As a lucky owner of one of these instruments I can tell you that you will be very disappointed if you pass up the opportunity to own one. Who knows what the future will bring ...

I second what Dave said... a truly amazing instrument. And getting it from Al couldn't have been any more pleasant (well... he could have tried to have the construction done when I went to pick it up... ).

As I said a couple of weeks ago, I was in Phoenix and played (and tuned) almost all of Tup's guitars. Even with the high end Martins he has (and they are wonderful guitars), I kept coming back to his 47 of 47. They are that good....

Musiciansfriend,Music123, and others - when they have no assurance of delivery, they will project availability; they will take your order but there is no guarantee...and, in the case of the 47RI, by the time you know...you won't be able to get it elsewhere. Your gamble.

We already know of a couple of dealers that took deposits and will be unable to deliver.

"Yikes! Will somone please outbid me for the fixer-upper on ebay?..."

Cancell the bid, 'dawg...I'm sure "Found a 47RI" must be in the Reasons-For-Cancelling-Auction drop-down menu somewhere!

so, what's the serial number?

who cares about # 75, the tail gunner of the group... :p :D :p

I'm curious about #1, 2, 4, and 6.

#6...my lucky number is the one I would have killed for. I also wonder where it ultimately ended up.

You would think that John or Kim could tell us at least where #1 & 2 initially shipped.
