Location: Australia | To all the Aussies here who can't find a really nice Ovation at home, well I'm selling my "Lennon" Legend on Ebay.
Its a great guitar. Plays beautifully and sounds really nice acoustically or plugged in.
I just can't justify owning so many instruments and since I got the Glen Campbell reissue something's gotta give. No reserve.
here's the link:

Location: SoCal | What I don't understand...when I got my non-FRG, the four or five FRG's appeared - this is an outstanding guitar. Yet, of the four or five, there has been a lot of turnover.
This is a keeper...get it, treasure it, keep it. |

Realistially, I play 3 of my guitars as "go to" instruments - U681 12string, TAK75 and Academy. Would it be nice to still own every guitar that's ever passed through my hands? SURE! But I'd be sitting on a whole lot of guitars that would never get played and the vast majority of them were "average" instruments at best.
My JL3 was a very nice guitar and I do miss it. But do I regret selling it? Not really. The GCRI was a VERY nice guitar, one of Ovations best ever. I semi-regret selling that one. But like I said, you just can't keep them all.
The good news for Richard is that somebofy will end up with a super nice and very collectable JL3, and he'd be no worse for it having his GCRI to play. Every one is a winner as long as we don't get greedy.

Light, great volume, "voice", price. |

Location: Munich, Germany | Thinking about giving any of my guitars away - even if there are some that I do not really like soundwise, acoustically - is very hard for me.
But one thing is for sure: One of the last guitars that would have to go is my JL3.
If you are looking for the "real" Ovation sound - paired with some of the new inventions - grab this one!
This guitar is great!

It's a fine guitar but I am very taken with the GC RI and I play this guitar alot. In fact that was the guitar I really wanted when I bought the JL but no GC's were brought into the country.
I still have my #47RI, 1687RI, GC and GC 12 string, so there's no need to cry any crocadile tears over me.
....AussieJames, no, that wasn't me. |

Location: Brisbane Australia | Richard, Could you believe the price and how much he claimed it was worth? Some people.
I am quite interested in your guitar and watching it on Ebay.
We're almost neighbours, Greenslopes and Southbank
Apart from my Adamas 1581 all my Ovations are solids. |
