If Ovation is going to allow the OFC such a degree of access to their factory they just can't expect some things to remain a secret.
Carefully study the picture below and refer back to it as needed.


Here you can see "mojo" being applied to the fretboard. Ovation uses an exclusive liquid formula of this rare, potent material. The devise in the employee's hand carefully meters the amount. The plastic tube is attached to a 486-1/2 gallon vat which is in a secret room hidden behind the "historical" wall in the research and developement area. Chemists monitor this mixture with great care and devotion.
Please note that the employee is wearing gloves. It was a few years ago that this same employee suffered the effects of a severe mojo overdose when the unfortunate combination of a minor cut from a potato peeler the night before and a brief lapse in concentration caused her to pick up a guitar and play Glen Campbell riffs for 34 hours straight. OSHA caught wind of the incident and strict guidelines were put in place.
But perhaps I digress.
Now we come to the most fasinating part. Those who were at the tour may recognize this employee as Cathy....the llama lady.

Coincidence????.... I think not.

It does not take such a huge leap in logic to see that there is a undeniable and clear connection between this mysterious mojo juice....and llamas.
Now here I must move away from hard facts and delve into some speculation. It is my belief that there is a secret connection between Cathy, Ovation, the llamas, and mojo. Though the Freedom of Information Act I have requested to see Cathy's passport. I believe that it will revel that Cathy has made multiple excurions to the mountains of Tibet where she has studied under ancient monk luthiers on the process of extracting mojo from llamas. Reckless speculation you say???
Time will tell.....Time will tell

You mean they ran out of the Austin Powers' mojo, and had to go to llamas????? No wonder my 2005 Collectors has this PRESENCE about it.....

It is rumored that a secret channel of the creek actually runs underneath the factory, left over from the mill days. You may be on to something Dave.

Are those the Monks that are sworn to silence and abstinence, like their fathers before them and their forefathers before them?

My apologies Cathy. Brad has had a very long week!
