This is WAY off topic, and maybe Al will pull it becasue it's non-ovation related but sometimes you've just gotta share the love

I'm not selling it and I don't know who the seller is (looks to be a shop), I just found it on ebay. The Martin 00028 Norman Blake is an amazing sounding guitar. Surprise - it's a wide neck, 12 fret slothead. A prominent member here has one and really likes it, and I've got a slightly customized one on order from Martin for delivery later this year. You may want to check this auction. You don't see them very often and if you heard one, you'd never forget it. They list new for $4999.

Sorry if this post offends any Ovation fans, but like I said earlier, when I know something good, I've just got to share it. And THIS is good.

Dave, this is the one that I originally played. I was not overally impressed with the sound of that one compared to the 000-NB that I finally got.

They wanted $3800 for it at the store. Wonder what the reserve is on the ebay auction.
