Location: Winter Haven, FL | Hey folks,
I just purchased my first Ovation and am loving it! I got a used 6778 Elite Standard from Ebay, and it arrived today. It needed a bit of cleaning up and a setup, but she feels like an old friend already. Not sure of the year...any way of finding out by the serial number?
Here's a clip of her that I recorded tonight...
Ovation Sample
Well, time to play some more...way too much fun to leave sitting in the stand. :) |

Just click the reference link to the left. If you can't find it there, check the Ovation website.
Welcome, and enjoy! |

Aren't Ovations lovely!!! |

I see you're in Warren, PA. That's where I moved to Florida from in March of 2004. I lived on Pine Blvd. in N. Warren. It's just off Rt. 62, intersecting with Hillside Drive. Small world huh? |

Aren't Ovations lovely!!! Thanks muzza. The beginning is from Appalachian Lullaby by Craig Dobbins. I took some liberties with it and changed the tempo a bit. Toward the end I just noodled a little to stretch it out some. |
