There Goes Rhymin Brian? Kinda catchy, no? :cool:

Very nice pics. I love the inlaid rosettes on the Custom Legends (and AD's). Best thing Ovation ever did was get rid of the plastic stick-on rings.

Uh, Brad ... you're always talking about tuning down to hit the notes. Try taking off the capo. :lol: It sure looks like you guys have developed some real stage presence. Can you post up some live sound or videos?

Train wreck is an interesting story. Brad will have to tell you. Poor Brian had to play a "house" guitar and all they had was that Martin, but he more than made do. It was funny as we stood there talking before they went on a fella walked up to them and said, "hey aren't you the ovation guys? "

I was thinking the same thing Johnny. Perhaps I will clone it out along with the price tag on the Martin. Though I think Martin players like to keep the price tags on :) .

Wow! Thanks for taking the great photos Rich! I didnt even know you were doing that. I was too busy comtemplating the hefty price tag dangling from that Martin headstock.

I am glad you drove over, it was great to meet you. Hopefully we can get together and play some music in the future.

Thanks again

Taking out the mic and price tag is nice but rebuilding that shirt is awesome!
