Location: Kent, England | First of all thanks to everyone who helped with information about importing guitars into the UK, and a special thanks to Al who arranged for my two new guitars to be sent to me safe and sound. They are absolutely amazing and it is a dream come true. I purchased a Legend 12 6756LX in black and an Elite 1778LX in black cherry burst. They are absolutely beautiful and play a dream.
To anyone thinking of doing the same I have to endorse the coments of so many others and cannot recommend Al more highly.
Once I have sorted out how to get some pics posted I will...if anyone's interested.
It's great to get some relief from Ovation GAS. |

Especially when the buyer speak a foreign language. I've been playing OFC factory tour dvd. I figure that it qualifies as foreign language study when I listen to Temp and Schroeder talk. |

Stuart, if you haven't seen it already, find Robin Williams skit on the Scot who invented golf. He might even be hard for you to understand, but it's hillarious. |

I haven't seen those in YEARS!!!! . . . . |

Location: Shotley Bridge, Northern England | Well done Terry. Glad to see that you are also benefiting from the current ££/$$ rate. It's good to be buying Ovations from the US if you live in Blighty just now. Well done.
Mind Mark, sorry but I have to say that grouping Temp, who is perfectly understandable when you hear him speak (from here in the true North of England) together with Schroeder (from dawun Souff, so is unintelligible) in accent terms is hardly fair. :) It's a whole world away...
As we say up here: 'Nee ideea wot yur on aboot lad' ;)
