You are sorely lacking in Ovation solidbodies, though, Tony. (I know you were explaining why when your cellphone battery went dead the other evening.)
I checked prices on the Univox HR2 like I used to have recently and decided that selling it for $125 in 1977 to get my first Ovation probably wasn't a bad deal. You guys with these T-heads are giving me the itch for an Ovation semihollow, though.

Very Nice Tony! The whole family agrees that the Tornado I just got is gorgeous... and they don't agree on a lot of things!

Had not heard of a T- Head?? The others I know, What is this Tony?

Also if your interested in cornering the Solid Body market, I have just about the coolest Deacon ever, and I am considering selling. I'd love to see it stay within this group.

This is the Thunderhead that I have...anyone know who this is?


The Hurricane is similar to the Wurlitzer in style but will probably get more play.

The Wurlitzer has the Italian flare, even has a selection for "Wild". 1966 made by Welson of Italy. Two months after I bought it, a guitar magazine ran a cover article concerning the collectibility. Welson and a couple of other Italian companies made guitars for Wurlitzer, Martin, and Gibson. Had been in a pawn shop in Tucscn, had Moze Guitars do a setup and check out the wiring.

12-strings that I now have:

Adamas I, Adamas II, 6759 CL (used on Elton John 2000 tour), 1659 CL, two 1658 CL's, small soundhole shiny bowl, Hamer Newport 12, Hurricane, Deacon 12 (with Hamer Newport electronics), Preacher Deluxe 12, and the Wurlitzer...but only two hands.
