[list]
[*] Legend LX 12-String
[*] Elite-T (LX) 12 String
[*] Elite-T (LX)
[/list]
Just to clarify, the Elite-T now has the LX upgrade. |

So what's the story on Fender, for sale or not? What does the vibe on the floor say? |

Location: Canton (Detroit), MI | The Elite T LX is old news to me....our GC has had one for over a month. It's one of the limited edition "flame" ones. The 12-strings, though....
Now, when are the deep bowl LXs coming?????

I read an article with a statement from the prez Schultz saying without a doubt Fender is NOT for sale. He said they do a valuation audit every couple of years to get a different gauge of their financial state, and this sometimes raises suspicion. He was adamant that Fender is not for sale.
Protesting too much? - I have no idea. |

As I shop, compare, and ponder, I am rapidly narrowing my desires to a shallow-bowl Elite T. I am thinking my perfect O for P&W would be a 1878 Elite T 12 String with a super-shallow body.
Can you find out if this exists?
Thanks |

| Please tell me the 12 strings sound great, play great, and will come in blue! I've put off my 12 string buy waiting to see what is coming. |

Any news on that? |

Location: Canton (Detroit), MI | Yep, I want everything NOW!!!! This is the United States, isn't it????? :D
However.....I played a 30th Anniversary Custom Legend at Elderly today....HOLY CRAP!!!! The absolute BEST Ovation I've ever played!!!! Even better than the FD-14. And they had a good Legend LX, too.
Actually, my only complaint about the 30CL is one that Brad had stated before....TOO MUCH ornamentation! I'm a "the regular Legend is OK with me" kinda guy.
They had a regular black mid-bowl Elite T at Elderly today and I assure you it had the LX truss rod cover. The label says nothing about LX, though.

OAO,
How was Elderly? I'll be in Chicago next weekend and plan to rent a car and head up to Lansing. Are there plenty of potential new axes up there for me to test run? I have been all over their site and want to try out the D28 and D35 1935 sunbursts, the Breedlove focus dread, and the CA guitars. Can't wait.
The Elite I have (and am selling for some reason-GAS is a powerful force) has the TRC on it and it is definitly lighter and sounds better than the one i had about a year ago for a short while. |

Location: Canton (Detroit), MI | Brad, I thought you made a comment about the 30CL having too much stuff on it???? Sorry, my mistake! Guess I'm the one full of poo!!!! :)
That is good to hear that your ADII is close to it, I am considering getting one of those for my "collection"(but I want a black one).
zchord, not everything on the web site is out where you can try it, but several are. What is out: the 30CL, Legend LX natural, Balladeer LX cherry, Elite T black, super-shallow bowl Balladeer, used 25th Anniversary, used Custom Legend 6-string, new Custom Legend 12-string, new redburst Melissa Etheridge 12-string, new blue Adamas 12-string.
The D-35 sunburst is out as well. I didn't look closely at the Breedlove guitars, so I don't know what is out.
If you're interested in something that is on the website that I didn't mention, like the 6778 LX, they will be happy to get it out for you, it is in storage in the basement.
The Ovations are in a small room in the back corner of the main room where the cash registers/main counter is. Right now they are sharing space with Takamines, Rainsongs and some other smaller brands, the CAs as well, I think.
