Hello all. I just scored a 97 collector and I'm curious if anyone knows where I can buy a copy of the owner's manual? I didn't see one on the Ovation website. BTW-very exciting little 12 fretter. Thanks beforehand for any info, EJ.

I think the owners manual says to hold it with your left hand on the fret board and strum with the right. That's pretty much all you need to know. :D
BTW, congrats on one of the best O's out there.

Thanks Trader Jim, that much I had figured out already believe it or not. Mainly trying to find out about the touch sensitive preamp, I think its just a volume control but the input jack may be stereo(?), not sure. Regards, EJ.

Is this the wide neck version? If it is you really scored a prize.

Iffy, how did you get there from Jerome's webpage? I've got the dvd, but sometimes don't want to pull it out. I've never spotted that link.....
