Especially about the 1567. I bought it from you US ebay some weeks ago. It is in absolute superb condition and it plays very nice! I would like to know what you think this baby is worth?

I have several guitars that in my opinion or worth probably 2-3 times what the market would dictate....but I don't care, I love em! | ||

Joined: May 2005 Posts: 58 Location: Germany | Thank you for your kind words. I am 25 now and I have been stuck on Ovations since I was a kid. I watched my fahter playing an ovation on stage since I was about 3 years old. He owns it since I was born. When I was about 11 years old, I grabbed my fathers Ovation and I fell in love with the feeling of it. I have played many other guitars and never had the same feeling like I had on an ovation. I guess I will always be stuck on them :-) | ||

Let's seriously set up a Euro OFC gathering. I will attend if it coincides with my travel. Maybe can only bring my ukulele with me, but you guys have plenty of great guitars I could play.We need to organise a European meeting. Paris is good for me..... | ||

Joined: March 2004 Posts: 1388 Location: Paris/France | Hi, I will be so glad to meet all of you!! But with my job, the web site and my "girlfriend", it's hard to find times to organize a meeting!!! I live just near Paris. I like to cook for my friends, i've got 6 O's at home, a vox amp (my neighbours are very "rock"), some good wines in the cellar and my first job was pastry maker!! So, if you're near from Paris, don't hesitate to contact me. I'll be so glad to have you for a dinner. You always be welcome!! But i just have one bed at home... So, if you're not a sexy blond woman with nice breasts, i'm sorry but you must sleep at the hotel!!(joke) :eek: More seriously, i'm sure that we will be able to meet us in a next future. Or perhaps can we already register for the next Ovation Factory Tour in 2006!! I've never visited the USA and i'll be so happy to discover the Ovation factory, our Americans friends and the country at the same time!! It's a great idea isn't it?? Jérôme :) | ||

Joined: November 2004 Posts: 4413 | Perhaps we could get a group discount on AirFrance? I know more cheap hotels in Paris than anywhere in the world. If we can come round to your place and make a noise I'm quite happy to crawl back to a hotel. I'll bring my own Os. As long as we don't have to drink French beer. In fact the words French and Beer should never be seen in the same sentence without the word horsepiss also being involved.... | ||

Joined: May 2002 Posts: 3005 Location: Las Cruces, NM | fguki Big welcome from New Mexico to a new member from Europe (Germany). I had two younger brothers that were stationed in Germany in the late 50's and loved it, especially the cars (VW's and Mercedes), beer and the places that served it. Your Ovations sound like a very good deal from what we have heard of overseas (for us) prices. At my age, I am totally astounded at being able to converse as if we were on the same phone switchboard of the early days. It makes the world seem small, an impression that will dissipate if I try to walk to my local supermarket, the world is still big, it's just that electronics are incredibly fast, but walking is the same as it was 6000 years ago. Some things never change. Welcome, and good luck to a continental get together, I would like some of that French food. Bailey | ||

Joined: May 2005 Posts: 58 Location: Germany | Wow...it`s been a while ! Thank you for your kind answers. I don`t exactly know which model my father plays. As far as I know, it`s a 1980 balladeer or custom balladeer or something like that. But that is just a guess. But definitely no legend or custom legend etc. Maybe you could help me on this one. These are my serial numbers: 1866 Legend = 491xx 1567 Legend = 316xx | ||
