Location: Alagoas, Brazil | Hi folks!
I have just registered, and this is my first post. I´ve been checking this board for a while and I would like to introduce myself: I´m a Brazilian Police Officer, 44 yo, and live by the beach in the beautiful state of Alagoas (aka Secret Paradise).
I bought my first Ovation a couple of days ago - a nice W597 Grafite Adamas. I´ve been carrying it around since then and playing as much as I can. My wife just smiles and mumbles: "new toy". Go figure.
Anyway, it is good to be here.
Best Regards,
Miguel :D |

And what a great start an Adamas is for a soon growing and growing collection (I promise, you'll remember my words).
Have a great time around here,

Location: South of most, North of few | Welcome Miguel! Like Kurt said, it's only the start of a collection. Make sure your wife understands that now, so it won't be such a shock later. :D |

What other guitars do you have and what's your favorite music to play? I usually play Brazilian music, especially samba and Bossa Nova. Now I´m trying my hand on some rock and roll, blues and jazz.
I have a Di Giorgio concert guitar (nylon strings, acoustic), a Cort Source, an Epiphone SG, a Giannini eletro-acustic (also nylon) and a Yamaha APX-T. The Adamas came by accident. I was looking for an American Ovation, but could find only the Adamas between the dozen assorted Celebrities. Since it was in the store for about two years, I got a nice discount. Tough choice.
Alas, life is sometimes hard.
To all of you that are thinking of white sand beaches with a beautiful sea, I have to confess: right now I´m on vacation. Nothing to do except linger under the sun.
Yes, life can be very hard sometimes.
Oh, yes, we are just starting summer here in the Southern Hemisphere.
Cheers and best regards,
Miguel |
