How do you folks remember this stuff? I have to look around the band room just to remember what I still own, let alone how and when I got them.

Since I'm in my "band room" all the time, I just look around. Bill Geist calls it CRS disease for those of us over 50 (or way over in my case) who can't remember "stuff". I used to be able to remember what I paid for every major purchase and most small ones, but couldn't remember a name until I quit trying to think of it. Now I can't remember anything. I just now remembered the name of a judge that I was trying to remember two hours ago. I can remember the ages of our kids, but only because I can see in my mind the dates on the necks of the Ovations I gave them.

@Arthur -- "1771 LX"
Still waiting for someone who knows what the "LX" stands for. And were they ALL red? That seems to be the only color I have ever seen one.. including my own.

Lighter Bowl X-Bracing.
(sounds like good marketing spoo to me)

It has the GS (glass sphere) bowls, and Graphite neck stabilizers.
The necks were "set" in the USA factory.
Cherry Cherry Burst is a great LX color for center hole guitars.
New England Burst for the Elite LX's.
And of course, Black and Natural.

Cherry Cherry Burst is Cool. That is why they made so many.

@Arthur - >>>Lighter Bowl X-Bracing.<<<

Thank you for the clarification. I had asked that before and no one seemed to have an answer.

Arumako,

My last one is also sight unseen at the moment, waiting in Portland to jump on a plane to Brazil, where I will meet it for the first time. 12 fret AlPep Koa. Mmmmm ... 12 fret.

Congratulations TAFKAR! Gotta tell ya these USA Os are well worth the wait whether in Japan, Brazil or any other part of the world. The Twelve Fretters are especially amazing, IMHO - with a Koa top and from Mr. Pepiak, well you can't go wrong with that combination. Praying safe travels for the instrument! Make sure to give us an update when yours arrives and I'll make sure to post one when mine comes home! Cheers!
