Not coincidently, junior high school aged boys intuitively know and exploit this principle to the maximum extent possible.

Of course! Memphis was the ancient capital of the first nome of Lower Egypt, and of the Old Kingdom of Egypt from its foundation until around 2200 BC and later for shorter periods during the New Kingdom, and an administrative center throughout ancient history.

Well, ok then. So I take it that the single hole in the Koalas is roughly the same area as all the bass side holes in the Adamas/Elite configuration?


Don't order the Schnitzel, they're using Schnauzer.

Are you really suggesting that the service department of a maor guitar manufactuer practices favouritism not only to some geeky internet message board, but also to it's geekiest members? Grow up.
I have no opinion about the posters problems, Like Al, I hope this was taken up with the factory and complaints lodged with them first before this rant. If you have been mistreated this will be the first time I have heard of this from those bunch of guy's. Glenn, send it back before you burn bridges.

As for Temp's post.........ya have to admit my friend we had a very exclusive and very expensive "OFC Adamas Guitar" manufactured just for this bunch of Ovation Guitar Geeks. I don't see anything wrong with it, Hell I wanted one myself, but they did cater to us bunch of geeks big time there I'd say.

Judging from Lanaki`s picture , that shim at the PU`s side , was perhaps to correct the Intonation ..?

guys, I'm sorry, and Randy if you're happy with it great, and Al yes, it was discussed both with J and K as to my points... glad there was not an issue with the pu... and I'm tired and have been busy over the past few days and more of our .org and greenribbon free speech issues vs. TFN and WMI and Yahoo!

brevard freecycle treasures

again things and nerves are raw.... and I'm so tired of Yahoo blowing smoke....and excluding 100 s of thousands of people from even trying without jumping through hoops.. without slapp suits, infringement claims, false and fraudulent copyrights... etc... this goes on with us while doing what... and have been on the phone with their reps and answering ims and talking to media all day...

and keeping the other .orgs informed and so on and so on.....

I think I'll probably just hang on to the Q... don't want this to happen again in any way...

I did just get what's looks like a pretty smart case for it.

again, my apologies, glad all is well here...

I may not be around for a while at least posting here, but we're a little busy again.

doesn't mean I'm not looking in.

glenn,
i'm having a seriously difficult time setting the guitar down to take care of business and kids. new strings, airlocks on the lower eps and a couple days of acclimation have done wonders. adding the remaining shim will get the buzz out and improve the wandering E string. the action will still be very good. i think the mothership did a wonderful job and this guitar is one i am quite proud to own. i'm thinking i will gig with it on the less humid gig days.

we have edited so much html over the past couple days, answered so many ims pms squirrelmail pretty much while with a phone glued to both our ears..either on terminal hold or while yahoo continually whisper sweet nothings to the male members/owners... or blows warm breezes up the skirts of the ladies.

some of the controversy, with our groups and opinions regarding them:
controversy and opinions on our groups here

and all the rest here:

Greenribbon.US

but again OT, and probably too political and shouldn't be discussed here.

I'll shut up, I'm going to bed.
