Location: Paris/France | Hello,
One year ago, I was in front of my computer's screen by a boring rainy day and I don’t know what to do ! ! !
I’ve had an idea : « Maybe could I make some web pages for my Ovation. It could be funny …»
I’ve read some forum to learn how to create a page and how to publish it on the web.
I was collecting ovation stuffs since a long time and I thought it could be great to share these documents with some fans.
It was the beginning of a great adventure for me and I couldn't imagine at this moment to be here with you one year later.
During the last 12 month, I’ve had the chance to be in contact with so kind people all around the world and this is the real reward for me.
I’d sincerely like to thank you all for your support, your help and your kindness.
I can’t thank you individually but I still remember each one of you.
I’d like to send a special thank to Dave.W, (my « Ovation godfather ») because he was the very first to help me and I don’t forget it. ;)
The space allocated by my provider wasn’t big enough that why today, I’ve moved the site to another place.
The site is now renamed to "ovationtribute.com" and I hope you will not find this name too presumptuous.
Thanks one more time to you all.
It’s good to be a small part of this community and It’s my pride.
Amicalement
Jérôme :) |

PS - Thank you for the kinds words of "Godfather". Please don't think I'm part of the Mafia just because I grew up in New Jersey. Al is still waiting for the cement delivery for his garage. |

Thank you for taking all the time and effort to create such a great site. I have spent many hours looking sround and am amazed by all the great info and pics you have compiled. I don't think there is anyplace more appropriate to be ovationtribute.com!
Keep up the good work! We all appreciate it. :) |

| Jerome,
I think Ovation Instruments itself could access your website and learn something...excellant point of reference!

Fantastic sounding rock guitar. I have one I am thinking about selling if you are interested. Pics in the gallery. |

Location: Paris/France | Hello Stephen,
I agree with you. This guitar is fantastic!!
I bought mine one year ago on Ebay for 349$ in very good shape.
I love it and it sounds so nice on my Vox amp.

| Jerome... I too have another you may list in your collection.. along with my(former)..1758 and the Preacher Deluxe..currently on your site.
I have just adopted a near mint '85 collectors 12-string... very pretty and you don't have one in the gallery yet.
I'll have pics in my gallery soon... too busy playing(a little) and working(mostly).. right now.
Your site is a treasure trove of Ovation..
God Bless,

Un plaisir de vous avoir en tant que membre. Vous avez un website fantastique.
Mercí.
....Veuillez placer les images sur votre website des couches-culottes de port de Dave et Ukulele de jeu. Avec son singe. Ceci nous apporterait beaucoup de joie. |
