I can't trade in the Walden because of sentimental value, plus I like the way it sounds. However, if I can put away an extra $5 or $10 every week, I think I'll have a nice guitar in no time at all!

Nice sound; very, very, wery playable.Welcome O-board, G-zan. With the market right now, I think it's nuts not to shop for a used Ovation. If you liked the shallow bowl, you might love a 1868 Elite. If you'd rather have one with a center hole, you might try to talk Beggin outta his super shallow Legend. I've got faith in you to find the right match. Jas | ||

I can't imagine it's more then a 2 1/2 hour drive. A nice day trip or share a room with one of the other Ladies that may come. I know I'm going to really enjoy some of the talent that will be there.

Joined: March 2008 Posts: 2683 Location: Hot Springs, S.D. | Guitarzannie. I love the name! And I love seeing another woman here on the board. I know what you mean about the Walden. I have had a couple of them come through my shop, and they are fine sounding instruments for the money. Keep looking for your O, and when it finds you, you'll know. Stop over at the ning site too. Just click on "Ovation Fan Club Social Network" at the top of the page. It's easy to post pictures and such there (even a dinosaur like me can do it.) There are also some crazy groups to join there. Welcome! | ||

The only one I've been really active in lately is the String Network. Now I can see myself becoming active in the OFC, and less active in the GP and AGF. BTW, I've never liked the "Ovation bashing" that has gone on at the by some members of the AGF. Michelle | ||

We've discussed a little get together but, as of yet, nothing's been put together. On the flip side, I have been to a few of the OFC get-togethers and they've all been great. | ||

Check the Conn. gathering thread in the general posting. Could be fun.

Check out his site on the welcome page. Lost art & vintage. Randy | ||

Joined: April 2006 Posts: 1017 Location: Budd Lake, NJ | Hi, Michelle; This is the "grandma" of the bunch here, the oldest (or at least admits to being the oldest :D ;) ) of the female-folk. I will be going to the jam in Connecticut in June, and as of yet don't have a roommate. I wouldn't mind sharing space if you decide to come. We tend not to be in the rooms much, anyway--too busy pickin' and grinnin.' The jam would be a great way for you to try a whole bunch of guitars all at once, with much less aggravation than a music store. I'm planning on bringing two of mine, and I know there will be miles of stringage to strum. That's part of the fun, getting acquainted with a host of new guitars, and the people attached to them. (Notice that the guitars are first... ;) ) Welcome aboard--you will learn just about everything you could ever want to know about Ovations, and lots of stuff to help with your other guitar, too. --Karen | ||

Too few people remember Maury and what a tasty player he was. Jim and Maury were only 30 and 24 when they were killed. I often wonder what would have happened to those two if they had lived to be 66 and 60. Michelle | ||
