OK, I've read the ebay post now. The Brits have a word for this. Bollocks! |

You must ask yourself if this guy knows what he's talking about... |

| I'm wondering why McCartney would even care that much about an ovation guitar, he's probably played thousands of other guitars and he has his own guitars custom made no doubt...

You are so right. CWK2 has long been a poser. You'd think he'd work'd there.
I would, however, suggest you delve a little deeper into past threads on related topics |

First question:
Recalling the famous #47 Adamas guitar, who is touted to have said it was his favorite?
Second question:
From the answer of question #1, what would be the initials of his namesake?
Only first answers count, no guessing.

Location: SoCal | Thought you guys might enjoy an email exchange from Big O.
His first email
"I don't give a shit who he is because his father probably was'nt informed about the deal. I'm sure the Kamans did'nt call all the shots around that factory, he was engineer and owner. That's why corporations have business minds in the mix to PR and sign legal stuff. I'm a McCartney fan from way back when and have read enough to know the difference."
My reply:
"Well, hell, then you know it all. I'm impressed. But not much. Bill grew up at that factory and was deeply involved from the early 70's until the late 90's. Not the corporate office. The factory. But you go on knowing it all. You're fun to read. Makes for a good laugh."
His last email:
"I'm sure that you're good friends with him as well so you keep sticking it out.
The fact may be he was so involved around there, that does'nt make him
knowledgable of all that went down. He can probably tell us how to build a
guitar but I know for a fact that he does'nt know all that went down around the
business. So you keep gunning for him and laughing at me and showing your
ignorance. Think about it, why is it that he does'nt know about the scrolled
bridge and its design? He sure as hell did'nt have answer. As far as sticking a
foot in ones mouth, you know where you can cram yours."
Shall we see what else he has to say? |

McCartney readily admits that he's not much of a "GearHead", and for the most part (other than his Hofner bass) will pretty much use whatever's around . . . |

Location: Atlanta,Ga. | Hey, i resemble that remark ;) .Look for the new SAMADA model to be introduced in jan. of 07..I was inspired by my guitar hero and also want to give the "gift of music" to millions..
I also have another theory here.CWK2 leaves Ovation and "retires" .Soon after a guy comes on TV selling this line of guitars called Estaban.Has anyone ever seen Bill and Estaban at the same place at the same time???One wonders who's behind the dark glasses and hat??? conspiracy? I think not.. |
