Location: South of most, North of few | I was the one who had this "Frankenstein" built by the mothership. (I affectionately called it "the mutt") It is a great sounding guitar, and if I had a need for a wide neck now, I'd buy it. |

I'm laughing at your descrpition. I'm not a marketing genius (and I'm guessing you're not either) but I'm not sure calling this fine guitar "Frankenstein" or "Mutt" is helping the cause. I prefer to think of it as a custom built, one of a kind guitar that improved on the original design by adding a wide(r) neck. How can you make a better guitar for finger picking?
The cedar top is beautiful and flawless and the tone is sooooo sweet. Great job by the mother ship! Remarkable craftsmanship.

Thanks. Karl |

And Jim, sorry about the reference to a monster, but it is that way in the tone department. I agree, it turned out much better than I thought it would at first conception. The term "mutt" was used VERY affectionately. :D |

It sounds very much like the original FD 14's. And TJ is correct. It has the origanal FD 14 electronics. You just plug in and start playing. No messing around here. But you'll need to adjust the volume via your amp. Simple. |

Location: Louisville, OH 44641 | Clearly there must be a GAS shortage on the OFC these days. I've been surprised how resistant this fine guitar has been to finding a new home.
Anyone interested enough to make a respectable offer? |

Location: Bluffton, SC | There's no shortage of gas here...just a shortage of cash. The FUD would complete my Big 3, only to be followed by the 1681, the 2080, a Ute12, a BW Ltd, then a couple of Tak's, then a AAAAuuuuggghhhh...!!
Good luck, Jim. The FD14's are spectacular guitars and whoever grabs this will be a lucky player. |

I'm not planning to give it away but I can entertain some offers. The fact that I was able to sell my 1680 has taken a lot of pressure off my need to move this guitar. It is a very nice guitar to be sure. |

Location: Seoul, Korea | Had I not bought Jim's (kotadawg) FD-14, I would have bought this one at a heart beat. Simply because it is a great guitar and moreover, it has the wider neck which suits me being used to classical guitar. Timing was off by 9 months or so.
+1 TJ's comment on keeping it rather than selling. This is the only Ovation I am keeping other than my Patriot (if I get it back from a GOOD friend of mine, ever) |
