Just enter the name or model number of the guitar you want infor for. Don't know one model from another? Not a problem. Go to Ovation Discontinued Models . You can aslo find info on the current models at Ovation.com . | ||

Many of us are still learning new things everyday from people just like your husband who are "really into the Ovations." | ||

Joined: April 2006 Posts: 1017 Location: Budd Lake, NJ | Welcome, O? from one of the sisters in the club. I actually acquired my first Ovation by way of marriage, and used it to become a better musician. This is a wonderful place to learn about all manner of things, mostly related to Ovations, sometimes not. The folks here are knowledgeable, sympathetic, funny, loyal--and--mostly male. If you occasionally feel like you've accidently wandered into a jr. high boys' locker room, avert your eyes, tiptoe out and gently close the door behind you. It's just a part of being here. Inspite of all the differences, we are all committed to our potbelly guitars--and some of us should probably be committed somewhere else, too. ;) :D --Karen and her crew Gertrude, Jewel, Jazzey, Blanca, Naomi, Gilda, Ivory and Sugar | ||

Joined: January 2007 Posts: 69 Location: west virginia | stupid question here how hard is it to learn to play guitar when u have no clue what ur doing or the talent....i love seeing people get together and play i've seen it online but is it as fun as it seems? | ||

Although, at first the guitar is not an easy instrument to play. It could be tough on your fingers. But the rewards are forever. | ||

Joined: December 2003 Posts: 13984 Location: Upper Left USA | Karen, I will always wear a towel! I was thinking at least a High School locker room but OK. As the Moon goes through phases the OFC gets higher and lower in depth. Overall fairly safe and very addicting. RE: "how hard is it to learn to play guitar when u have no clue what ur doing or the talent?" Three chords and the truth can go a long way! | ||

As Tommy said the rewards for learning how to play, even at a beginner's level, are forever. And the friendships you'll make will last longer. If you have any desire at all, just do it. I guarantee you will not be sorry. | ||

Joined: March 2005 Posts: 2791 Location: Atlanta, GA. | Don't make the same mistake I did when I wanted to learn more about the history of Ovations and didn't want to read the book. "The Story of O" is NOT what you would think!!! Stick around awhile 'til they announce when the open house at the factory will be this year for the OFC. Something an aspiring "O"fficionado will enjoy and should be a nice drive from WV. | ||

Joined: May 2003 Posts: 4389 Location: Capital District, NY, USA Minor Outlying Islands | Forgive me. My life experience has made me cynical about a number of things, and I didn't know you were authentic. Since you are, you are very brave for revealing your feelings to us. I sincerely wish you the best. And since people are handing out advice, the best thing to do is learn to play an instrument, doesn't have to be guitar, could be uke,recorder or penny whistle. That will get you started, you could play with your husband, learn a few songs, then move onto to guitar after a few months. Thanks for the heads-up jason. | ||
