Location: Boise, Idaho | Shiloh, just ask the member to give you a reference if possible. That will give the potential buyer some comfort. I bought my 87 Collector from a newbie who was referred by one of the old guard. No regrets. I got exactly what was advertised.
I noticed on the Hamer board they recommended against advertising until you had 10 posts. I had trouble coming up with 10 things I wanted to talk about over there, but lucked onto someone wanting a Duotone and he bought mine. |

Location: Budd Lake, NJ | Hi, Shiloh;
If I lived closer and could come over for a chat and try her out, I surely would, just to have had the experience of playing her. I have an ssb Custom Elite and really like the thinner ones; if I were in the market for one right now, I'd be looking at yours, too. So, please accept a warm welcome from one of the board's "female-folk."
There is a lot of truth in the previous posts, but not's not your fault. Stick around, and become one of the "gang;" you'll learn more here about Ovations than you ever suspected you could know, and enough about other guitars to help you with them, too--and you'll gain a little credibility, which never hurt anyone. Sometimes this place can be a little like "Grumpy Old Men" (and maybe they'll insist "The Devil Wears Prada"), but that's what makes life here "interesting." ;) :D
