Location: Rochester, NY | That "flame" Ovation is so nice. I remember seeing that at guitar center a few years ago. Was that a limited edition model? Great pictures and guitars! |

As to the rarity of Flame T's... I have owned two of them.
I have put PSA For Sale threads up on a bunch of them.
The older Red ones have OP30 preamps so they have been made for a while.
There are the Original Red ones with flames all over the bowl.
There are GCXT's with Red or Orange flames made for Guitar Center.
There are also Blue and Gray flames, and Purple tribal flames (totally different critter).
The Blue or Gray are probably custom order but I have seen them on d'Bay.
So they made a few of them, but not Thousands... But maybe only a coupla hundred. |

Location: Utah | One of my students had a GCXT with orange flames, one of the GC ones. It was an awesome guitar and I know he really loved it. Played and sounded great. |

Location: Utah | This thread has me thinking about doing something I've thought of doing before. I have a nylon-string Viper. It is a black one and as far as I'm aware, Yngwie is the only other person that has a black nylon-string Viper. I'm sure there are others out there, but I haven't seen one. I've been contemplating selling it, but I just don't know if I can let it go. It just doesn't get enough attention and sometimes I think that someone else should have it and enjoy it. That Viper would become the best guitar I ever let go. Ahhhh, decisions. |

Location: Rochester, NY | Haha nice. I used to hate the way Yngwie tweaks his classical to sound muffled but for some reason over time I've learned to appreciate it and even love it.
If you do happen to put in on ebay let me know:) |

Location: Spotsylvania, VA | Back in 1975, I traded a 1964 Fender Jaguar and a few bucks for a "somewhere in the 60s" Rickenbacker Model 4000 Bass. Then I took the Rickenbacker to a music store and made a dead even swap for a brand new (and my very) first Ovation. That was a white topped Balladeer. |
