Location: GATLINBURG TENNESSEE :) | I just saw a DS-768 not sell on Ebay with the starting bid at $500. (of course I got home too late to check it out and/or bid) Is that model a deep bowl? I would probably have paid the $500 for a deep bowl. Arrrrgh! |

Location: GATLINBURG TENNESSEE :) | I emailed the guy after the auction and asked if he would still sell the thing for his starting bid of $500 and the response wsa ... NO. Like StephenT28 said, someone probably bought it on a side deal. |

Location: GATLINBURG TENNESSEE :) | I really wish I could play one of those to see how it plays and sounds. The only baritone guitar I have been able to try out was a Tacoma, and it looks like they took their acoustic bass and put six strings on it. The neck is way too fat to play, but the deep tone was very nice. I'd be willing to bet that an Ovation plays and sounds much better with the round back and the Kaman bar neck. And for that matter an Adamas model is probably all-the-more remarkable. |

Stephen, any sign of the twins yet? |

If you end up with it, let me know what you think about her. Right now I am totally dependent on 2nd-hand reviews. |
