This isn't going to fit into your downsizing plan. |

Robert wrote me back. I misunderstood his post. I thought he was offering it for sale here.
I'll just have to wait until eBay. |

Noah,
This isn't going to fit into your downsizing plan. They are so thin, you can stack at least 2 of them in the same space as a mid-depth bowl.
All my EA's are staying. |

Beautiful, but what a tease. Were there pictures of the rest of the guitar, do I have to wait until eBay to see the whole thing? You guys keeping this one for yourselves... I'll back off. :( |

Location: Tennessee | Go for it if you want it Noah ... I haven't decided yet if I need to move up from my plain jane EA68 (she a real good looking and sweet player). For sure I'm not going to go crazy ... it's not a "gotta have". |

Paul, thanks the the voice of support. Definately gives me a warm and fuzzy when an active and respected OFC member gives the thumbs up for someone we are unfamiliar with. |

But then again, the world isn't ready for musch Ovational thinking. |

Location: Minden, Nebraska | The auction started and I put a bid on it to start things off, but this isn't scent-marking the turf. Anyone else who is interested should bid away and not hold back on my account.
I have had quite a few of the EA-68 Vipers, but never one with the abalone binding. Very, very cool and equally rare. |
