Location: New Mexico | Hi,
What a great site. My wife thinks I need to find a new hobby and new friends... Just started the hobby and playing in August. Since then I have bought 5 guitars... She is suggesting rehab... I'm thinking maybe she is right. Just mentioned to one of the OFC members in the last week-ten days I needed to start saving for the OFC guitar or the Adamas anniversary... I bought 3 guitars since I made that statement. HELP!!! What do you take for this sickness? :confused: :confused: :confused: |

Location: Midland, MI | Closed down the business, took a 9-5 job, realized how much time non-self-employed people have, became bored, joined here, bought the Elite, took some lessons, bought another guitar, took some lessons, bought Project Viper, trying to talk my wife into buying me that pretty blue thing on Al's site (ain't gonna happen, sorry Al). As W2 said, this *is* rehab. Hi, my name is Cruster and I have a problem.
Now, if someone could tell me the ballpark on the OFC edition so I can start saving.... |

Location: Tennessee | Sometimes it takes a while for it to kick in. I joined the board a little over two years ago already having a 1311, a 6759, the 2000 Collectors, the 1271 Viper, a CS212 and AA13 for the kids, and a Hamer Mirage (the beautiful stepsister everyone wants to feel up). Didn't buy anything for a long while (despite learning all kinds of things about Ovations and attending two factory tours) except for a Viper bass I picked up for a song. Then, a little over a month ago, a major gas attack hits and I wind up with a EA68 Viper, a Deacon 12, and a 1537.
There's no cure ... just periods of sobriety. You should see my eBay watch list right now ... there's a Long Neck, a nice 1618, an early Breadwinner, and a Thunderbolt. I may fall off the wagon once again ... |

Location: New Mexico | Well what I have been able to conclude so far is part of the cure is bankruptcy... Will post pics sometime this weekend to help me come to terms. Someone (a friend not on this forum) emailed me and said " Admission to any addiction is halfway to the cure"... I admit it, I admit it. Well I'm completely broke so I hope the other half gets here quick... |

Location: NC | Rehab is a place for those people who think they have a problem............I however have no problems and are sane in every since so I need no rehab. Does anyone want to buy my coffee pot and VCR or anything else in my house so I can buy another "O"? Really, I have no problem! LOL! :) |

Location: 6 String Ranch | Five guitars since August. SO? It's not really a(potential) problem until you start buying 3 and 4 at a time, and then only if you get caught doing it. |

Location: Tampa, FL | This forum has pretty solved my GAS issues. I just take my wife into some of the galleries of the OFC and suddenly my O fantasies seem a whole lot more reasonable. She got really quiet when I showed her Standing O's ovationgallery with its sections and groupings.
Anyway, it's only a "problem" if it interferes with your normal productive functioning in society. Now if all your friends are OFC members you can argue for a complete resetting of the bar for normal.
If this is wrong, I don't wanna be right. |

Location: Pacific Northwest Inland Empire | Well, it appears 16 "O"-critters have entered The "O"rphanage, and 7 still live here. All in the course of about 4 years. Not a single one new, but a couple made the trip to The Mothership for refitting & refurbishment. The Departed have left for Florida, New York, Nevada, California, & Illinois, as much as I recall right now. A pleasant madness, to be sure. |

Location: Las Cruces, NM | I feel like I have logged on to Europe during the Black Plague, as I read I hear a creaky voice and a rumbling wooden cart "Bring Out Your Dead" Creak, rumble, creak. Why am I feeling a moral weakness, bubles on my brain, and a strong desire to visit Ebay with my wife's credit card.
Could it be that the OFC plague is as bad as the Black Plague? Does logging on here cause an infection that is fatal to the bank account? Close to 3000 members clomping along like the living dead, chanting "Need More Ovations, Buy More Ovations" as they mindlessly march to their certain doom at the hands of the Dr. Alkenstein of the Jerseyian flat mountains or the evil flashes and rumbles from the eastern Mt Doom of Mordor in the Connectican Wasteland, home of the evil wizard, Seewakteetwo, the ancient bearer of the guitar string of power, "One string and one fret rules them all, they are looking for the note, Seewakteetwo has found it".
Flee, flee for the life of your soul. By the way, I heard a rumor of a slot head #43, contact me at wwww.urassisgrass.com, $20 for each consultation. First hundred visitors get a free photo of my new OFC LX guitar.
My 12 string program has failed miserably. |
