I've purchased several guitars from Okla Vintage. You can trust them. Dave

Read the text carefully ... sometimes they bury the fact that it's an FRG.

Yep... FRG is buried in the text.

FRG is in a paragraph preceded by “…USA made…” and followed by “…lifetime factory warranty on Ovation USA Guitars.”

They mention the 5 year warranty.
It is not what they say, it is how they have it composed. Why even bring up "lifetime factory warranty" in the Item Description when they know it does not apply to this item?

That's how I look at it. I know a lot (maybe most?) of the FRG's are customer returns that the dealer returns to O rather than have to sell as new...
But they put that sticker in by the nameplate, like a big red A across it's forehead...
