Location: New Hampshire | Is anyone interested in an Ovation "String Fling" frisbee that was used to package Ovation strings in the 70's? I just came across one tucked away in one of my boxes from college. It's blue in color and has the Ovation logo and is in great shape. |

Is that the flexible frisbee or a hard type?
You can't just give it away and its obviously "priceless". I should come up with a trade!
Hmmm. |

Before we start the bidding you have to tell us about yourself, what guitars you have, etc.
BTW - Welcome! |

Location: New Hampshire | I'm a little embarrassed to admit I don't currently own an Ovation. I've been tempted several times on the site, and have certainly played a few over the years. I currently have a couple of Fender electrics, and an old Norman acoustic, but keep thinking an Ovation is the solution to my acoustic-electric need. I really want to do the factory tour (It's about 5 hours away from me), but seem to keep missing the date. Perhaps 2006 will be the year...
The frisbee is of the soft plastic variety. I didn't want to do the eBay thing, but am open to offers.
Best,
Frank (Badsinger) |

That's okay.
If y'go on some of the other "GuitarBoards", y'generally hear the exact opposite . . .

Location: Upper Left USA | I will trade a 1996 Anniversary pick in an Ovation logo plastic bag (factory parts come in them.
My other offer is some (Official Factory) saw dust in a bag from the Factory.
It just doesn't get any better than this!
Anybody else have trading material? |

How about this:
http://www.ovationfanclub.com/photos/Patsbro_59099_string%20fling.j...
* A String-Fling Thing
* Plastic cover
* Insert piece for a set of Ovation Silk & Steel Strings
* 5 of the 6 string envelopes
I linked a photo above. If it doesn't show up on this posting check my album under Patsbro for a photo.
It will cost you the following:
* The 1996 Anniversary pick.
* One of your famous three hole long rod covers. You pick the cover.
If interested post here or E-mail me at Patsbro@att.net |

Let me rummage the work bench Patsbro. Can you PM me your address. The pick is one of the handful that W2 gave away. I sent one along with the Dadi DVD and probably want to keep the one I have (Value +.50). |

I am very flexible. As a matter of fact if we are keeping score, you are ahead. A while back you sent me a copy of the Aaron Tippin/Factory tour DVD. I like the idea of bartering for the odd Ovation item. You should have my address in your E-mail by now.

But now I am cursed to sift through eBay looking for a wrapper for that sixth string...
Seems I was unarmed for that kind of psycological warfare! |

What kind of cool junk do you all have out there? This is at least a good opportunity to show off some of the odd marketing stuff from whenever!
My Ovation backpack I got with my LX goes on all gigs with me. I recently picked up a Leather look vinyl Ovation case cover so that I can be fully accessorized.
Cap, coffee cups, etc.
Anybody find any worn snakeskin boots in the FL/CT Salvation Army stores? |
