Welcome friend. New Jersey is the place to be if you have a hankering to buy a new (or pre-loved) Ovation, as one of the founders of this club has a business there flogging off Ovations and other weird things.

Welcome to the madness.
The kool-aid is Llama flavoured and comes in string-tube dispensers.


Don't worry, it will make sense in a month or two.

Welcome, Gigster:
I'm in the not-so-Garden-State-anymore, too, as you can see. Whereabouts be you?
AlPep (referred to above) is in the Philly area; there's a couple of us over here in the Morris County area.
The club is that special place where you can learn absolutely everything you've ever wanted or needed to know about Ovations, and all kinds of other stuff, too (which you may not want or need to know, but will, anyway.)
Enjoy your stay--this is a great place!

--Karen

TJ,

He'll probably need at least another 24 hours to get used to all the GAS here.

You could have at least give him a chance to catch his breath. :D

Welcome!!

WOW! thanx for the warm welcome folks! i live in berlin boro, n.j.
i've got 3 ovations:
the 1111-1 i bought used in 1985. she's my main recording guitar.
the 1986 i bought new in, you guessed it, 1986.
the elite i had custom ordrered in 1987.
+ a few celebrity models.
i've been a member over at the TDPRI for about a year now so i'm well experienced with GAS! if i wind up collecting more ovations, keep it on the down low cause my wife will kill all of us!
anyhow, i have pics of most of my guitars at www.myspace.com/giginthesky. you should be able to view them even if you don't have an account. enjoi! and thanx again for the welcoming party!
jk.

Welcome Gig! You're right around the corner from me... I'm in Marlton Lakes. We'll have to get together and jam one of these days. I have a couple of decent O's and my son Nicky is also along for the ride.

As for the wife... :rolleyes:
