I will talk to a friend of mine who´s in the printer´s business, maybe we can make a calendar in the future. He has great computer ressources and professional printers and binding tools. But not this year.

Sorry to say for only about an interest of 10ish, I will not be producing a calendar. Sorry folks, anyone? Bueller?

I hate to admit it, but the numbers dropped each year, although that's not the reason I had to back out.

The project was always a labor of love for our brands, both Ovation and the OFC. But they take considerable time to put together, or least put together well, and time is something I run short of anymore.

In an ideal world, I started asking for photos in early summer, although life can banjax even that kind of lead time very easily.

Here's hoping the idea can be resurrected in the future.

@Patch - >>>But they take considerable time to put together, or least put together well<<<

Problem is, Patch, you've been TOO good. Heck, anyone can throw together a Kinko-Fed-Ex calendar, but it would be awfully disheartening to take the shame of having the quality go into the dumper compared to yours. Your painstaking workmanship clearly showed in the product, and would definitely be tough act to follow.

Thanks LOF. Like I said, it was fun, and as cliched as it sounds, it was also a bit of a labor of love, or at least loyalty.

I mentioned it in detail the first time Fender shut things down: No other company would have indulged the whims of a nobody social worker like me the way John and Kim , and by extension Ovation, did. There is no way I could have assembled a collection of guitars as I now possess without them. I felt liked I owed them a little bit, and some of that dedication worked its way into the calendars.

It's gonna be an honest and strange distraction not seeing one on the wall come January.

patch and love....yep....The standard is high - and rightfully so...I could take 2 hours, send it off to the web, and we would have something that resembles the insurance agent freebie - I want to use a real printer - carefully edit each page... and take the time to do the artwork correctly....Let's do this....I will soon set up a drop box to send photos to and start the process....when we get a dozen or so pages worth - I will find a printer a cut above Shutterfly and Kinkos...then I will send them off to print....since it is custom, the months and years won't matter....Maybe in a month or so I might even have a contact name at GEWA....I don't plan to even break even...just do it right.
