Location: New Hampshire, USA | 2 quick questions for anyone:
What kind of wood is that epaulet made of?
Is there such a thing as an OEM koa epaulet? |

As for OEM Koa epaulets, I'd ask Woody. |

Bet it plays nice. |

I believe that is flamed maple on the '06. The 2007 had a "spalted maple" epi, and I know that other solid wood epis have been made.
If you want any custom wood stuff for Ovations, definitely ask MWoody. |

I thought that too, had to have one. And yes it plays like a dream, slick & low action with a lovely full, warm woody tone. The glossy lowish profile ebony fretboarded neck is gorgeous.
And when it opens up, woah... |

And when it opens up, woah... I believe it...just perfect for my style! Gotta lean on dweezil to sell it...not that I could afford to buy it, but just the thought... |

Ummmmmmmm...know what I mean? |

I told you a Bzillion times not to exagerate.
You can wear all the goucho's you want though, not that there's anything wrong with that!
I obviously have duped a few into thinking that I am not as big of a Hack as I really am. You can contact Customer Service and get replacement epaulets. Inlaying them would be a big undertaking though. |

I bought the first one, but he put the second one up in his "grand sale" post when he was looking to finance the Martin he bought. |

Alan,
Did you ever see what the 2006C was *supposed* to look like?
Oh, BTW I believe Al still has a couple of 14 fretters.... |
