Nice name given the controversey about Eris being a planet. Its moon is called Dysnomia, Eris' daughter, is the goddess of lawlessness. Interestingly, I count 10 planets on the fretboard, but Eris was only discovered recently ... how did ovation know? |

The . . . japanese market/distributor seems to 'care' more for their customers.
Twenty years ago, nearly every graduate business school in America devoted part of their courses to studying Japanese models of quality and customer service. Over fifty years ago, it was America (Dr. W. Edwards Deming in particular) who was teaching the Japanese about quality, process improvement and customer service. The differences are much smaller in today's global economy than it was 20 or 30 years ago, but there are still many businesses that could improve their profitability and market share if they better understood the expectations of their customers. For most of us, however, guitars satisfy our wants, not our needs, and this can complicate the guitar maker's bottom line. |

I think they were students of Dr. Deming also. |
