Joined: March 2004 Posts: 1388 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 :) | ||

And also all to have each other. That is what makes this place so much fun. Dave 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. | ||

Yours is one of the nicest sites I have seen. I don't mean just guitar sites. I'm talking the whole of cyber space. Very nice work. Thanks again. | ||

They go for anywhere between $500 and $900 depending on condition, color, and if someone is hot to get one. Fantastic sounding rock guitar. I have one I am thinking about selling if you are interested. Pics in the gallery. | ||

Joined: March 2004 Posts: 1388 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. J :) | ||
