Jerome's DVD arrived right before Xmas. I'm very proud that I got a low serial number (#3/199).

It's a complete database of Ovation documents (and other stuff) from 1966 to 2008. Professionally made. Very cool. I doubt that Ovation itself has (or even knows of) all these documents.

Well done, Jerome! Thanks a lot,

Karl

Charlie, you beat me to the post...yes, #25 of 199 arrived in yesterdays mail...what a treasure...so much to see and most everything seems to have a jpg attached for download and print...fantastic.
Jerome, you are a trememdous asset to music in general and Ovation/Adamas in particular! Thanks for being the 1st Class Individual that you are! It is reflected in your site and all things that you do!

Merci Mon Amie'

I too have received the DVD, and it is indeed a treasure. Merci Beaucoup!

Viva Jerome!
Viva Ovation!

I hope Fender realizes that the Ovationistas are probably the most dedicated guitar fans out there.

I got mine yesterday too. I'll have to see what my serial number is.

Thanks again Jerome!

Don't get carried away - he'd be nothing without his beta-tester. Hear me? Nothing. Nada. Zip. Rien de rien. Nothing.

I knew about it, but can't remember if I asked Jerome for one. I think I was waiting until I took some pictures to send him. I need to start making lists.

Thank you all for your kind comments and you can't imagine how I'm happy to know that you love it!!!
I was under pressure these last weeks to finish it in time and because I was anxious to know what you will think of the final result... :eek:

I'm surprised because they are arrived so fast.
All the copies are now on the way to their respective destinations (more than 16 countries).
USA, Europe and the rest of the world have been sent last Friday and France yesterday so be patient, you should get you copy pretty soon and before Christmas as promised.

About the serial numbers, the first 10 or 15 have been sent to "historical" guys which I'm in contact since the first days of the Website and the others have been sent totally randomly.
I do not want to make a "ranking" of the peoples by the numbers so I choose that solution.
It's not because you've got a high number that I don't love you!!! :D :D

The best results are with Firefox but it works with IE-7, Safari and Opera.
My advice is to use the full screen function because by this way the quality is better.
As you can see, it not always easy to read the texts on some pictures because it's sometimes small but you can browse each document for finding what you're looking for and use the pdf file to read the content.

Another thing, it's a little bit slow to upload the content the first time from the DVD Reader but you can copy all the files on your hard disk (4.5GO!!!) to get a faster access to the data if you want.

It's not a professional work so there's surely defects and mistakes but it's the best that I've been able to do and without Tom's help, nothing could be possible!!!
Thanks to Schroeder too for being my Macintosh beta tester. ;)
And thanks to all of you for your passion and your support during the past years.
You all know that nothing could be possible without you too!!

Long life to Ovation guitars, to the guys who are building so great instruments in New Hartford and I wish you all a very happy Christmas!!

Jérôme :)

PS: Mark, your copy is on the way to Idaho. ;)

Thanks, Jerome. I'll try to send you a pic of a label for the 99 Collector's that I noticed you were missing. There's something else, too, but I can't find my list.

More than 16 countries? Would be cool to see the list of countries where Ovation guitars are dearly beloved.

It has been at that level for a couple of years. Not everyone is into posting on forums, but for the lurker, or casual passerby, there is a wealth of information in these forums and related links.

Maybe I should start thinking about what I say. I tend to think of this group as a family, many of whom I've met, and forget that there are many more who pop in and out, but we don't hear from them.
Merry Christmas, or whatever other holiday you may be celebrating, everybody!

Now that I know how many hits we get here I'm gettin' a little creeped out.
Makes me think I should try to be a little less... well... silly.
And definatly... no more grass skirt pictures from me!!

Jerome... Your site sets the gold standard. Nothing else comes close. Every Ovation / Adamas employee or sales rep needs to have it listed as a favorite in their computer.
I can't imagine the number of hours it must have taken to get it this far.
Top shelf stuff Jerome, top shelf!

I've got something funny to share with you.
For those who got the DVD, go to the video section, open the "1997 German Dealer Video" and go to 2.41mn.
Look carefully at the guy working on the guitar neck, I'm sure that you all know him... ;)

I'm sorry they didn't make it :mad: , and I wish you would have told me, I would have sent out another! (and will tomorrow)

Jerome, never worry about asking. You certainly wouldn't bore me or offend me.
Besides, I'm about to go to your website and ask for one of yours...

Apologies
I've been slack and not sent you a copy of the chapters you are missing from the Ovation Parts catalogue as I promised.
I'll sort it over the holidays.

No need to worry, Brad. Most of those quarter million hits a month are from those appearing on page 1 of the top posting membership list.

I'll toast you, too, Jerome, but it will have to be with an American wine, or a beer if my wife doesn't feel like opening another bottle of wine.

Thanks again Jerome for the fabulous site. I don't have any cool documents or anything like that, but you are welcome to any of my pictures (um... let me clarify, the guitar ones!) anytime Sir!

And Brad, don't stop the silliness. It could very well be that people "tune in" to us knowing all the characters, and waiting to see who will do or say what next. (Like will Cliff and the llama ever get together, or what guitar will Gallerinski gloss over next)

A cyber-sitcom if you will. Like it or not, you're one of the stars.

Got mine today, and again, great work from this crazy Ovation weirdo!

So, with all the efforts Jerome took over the last few years with his homepage - getting in touch with half of the world to get everything together - is there anything left we don't know about Ovation guitars?

This is a great gift - and something I would call the Ovation Brockhaus. Or, Ovation wiki, nowadays.

Thanks, Jerome, keep on searchin',

all the best for 2009,

and merry christmas to all of you,

Kurt

Dear Jerome, I got my copy today. Thank you very much !! You know I always been an Ovation fan since my early teens but only recently I've had the chance to get in contact with you, discover your creature OvationTribute and then join the OFC following your reccomandation. In such short time I see the light :D
So thanks again my friend.
Joieux Noël à toi et à toute ta famille. Merci beaucoup, mon ami, et à bien tôt !

Got mine today, what a treat! My whole family gathered around to see the envelop, stamps and Jeromes' handwritten note!!! We instantly added our present from France to our Christmas Tree. Words can not express the warmth (it's really cold in Missouri today) your gift has brought us today. Happy holidays, and all the best my friend!!!!!

I got mine a few days ago and I just got a chance to look at it. I really like that the PDF files are also included. Truly a lot of effort went into the DVD.

Thank you Jerome and have a Merry Christmas.

Thank you all for your very kind comments and messages.
At the start, I was thinking to make a bunch of 100 DVD and to date, I've sent more than 160!!
I'm happy and it's a very nice Christmas for me!!!

Unfortunately, Dave (Gallerinski) doesn't get his copy and I'm a little bit disappointed. :(
Maybe in the next days but it seems to be long to arrive in Arizona... :mad:

Fortunately, I'm still have some copies and I'll send him another one if needed.

I wish you again very Happy Holidays!!
Très bonnes fêtes à tous.

J :)

And another thing...
Has anyone else gone to the video section and watched that Japanese documentary???
It's interesting to watch.
Beal is featured quite a bit.
I wish I understood Japanese. From the tone of his voice the narrator sounds very serious and respectful.
Al DiMeola is shown in a lengthy interview. Would it have been so hard for him to dress up just a little??? He looks like a commercial for Hanes underwear.

Jérôme, it is middle America. I haven't received mine either so hopefully Dave's and mine are both with the same Pony Express rider and will show up before the new year!

Hi,

It's probably because some US postmen are Ovation fans ??? :D

Dave's copy is finally arrived and I sent another one to Crimsonlake.
Stephen, I'll be glad to send you another copy in replacement of the first!! ;)

I don't know if all the copies are well arrived but according what I know to date, only 2 or 3 were lost during the transport.
It's not so bad because I sent more than 165 worldwide.
Please, tell me if you don't get your copy!!!

I'm glad that every one loves the DVD and I wish you all the best for the end of 2008.

J :)

Finally got back home (after a "Planes, Trains and Automobiles"-like ordeal courtesy of USAirways) to see that #185 arrived while we were gone. Have only had a few minutes to peruse it, but it looks fantastic.

C'est magnifique, Jérôme, merci beaucoup!

I remembered to look, but then forgot what number it was. I know it was more than one digit.

Let's wait till after the first of the year and see if it turns up. No sense in mailing a duplicate when everything seems to be running behind in Colorado!

I'll let you know! Thanks.

Hi Jerome!

I've been away and have had stacks of mail to go through, your parcel was stuck in the middle of it all. The best mail I got all season long. Great work!

Thank you kind Sir!

#077 (shouldn't it be #067? ;) )
