And correction to the Koa. It's not a mandolin. It's a Koa topped oval holed Elite, similar to the LAV Koa |

Location: Texas | Damon, That is a pretty agressive lineup! Are all of these guitars in regular production or will some or all be available by order. |

That's a serious list of New Hartford O's,did they have an of them on display??Pics Please.
So are they going to have US Custom Legend/Elites as well as Korean models???
New Kaki King and ME Adamas cool,what about the Korean models they were making this year...gone away or just relegated to a lower price point,
So much good news and lots of excitement US Ovations are making a comeback

Location: Yokohama, Japan | Thanks for the NAMM updates and pics ProfessorBB and Damon. I never imagined, DW would take the aggressive strategy so early in the come back; but man, those 2017 cajons and NH made U.S.A. line Os are so impressive! The 50th AV line and NHs comeback was just announced in Japan last Nov/Dec. Just really good to see O coming back strong and where they belong! Not sure if congratulations are in order, but I sure feel like celebrating over here in Asia! |

Good approach, Professor! When summer comes and my body goes tan I can apply the same rationale for purchase of some of the darker models. |

Alumitones and Op Pro Studio, I presume. Is the bridge pickup the same that's in the Kaki King?
