Maybe they are making 50 for the US and another 50 for Europe. Mark's is stamped 2077 AV50 3 of 50 and Jerome's is stamped 2077 AV50E 3 of 50. Interesting question Dave and I had the same interrogation when I saw the number of mine. If I'm right, 100 of each will be produced so maybe 50 for USA and 50 for export "E"??? 2 series of 50 models??? Here's a pic of FD14 #1 "E"...  J

As every year, I'm with some of my Ovation friends in east of France for the next 3 days (Tom, Rémy etc...) and I'll make some shots and video for sharing. J | ||

Hopefully nobody here believes they're going to make money on their 40/50 Anniversary model! Probably we are taking a 50% immediate depreciation. But then I don't plan on selling mine anytime soon. My kids' inheritance will take the financial hit. | ||

Joined: October 2012 Posts: 1018 Location: Yokohama, Japan | Hope you all don't mind my participation in this thread, but I can hardly contain myself... So, I stalled on my 50th Anniversary order because of shipping concerns to Japan, and overall cash concerns, and after some of the orders were fulfilled, and people started sharing their beautiful new 50av Os and 40av As, I figured my window of opportunity had passed. I had my mind set on the 1678AV50-5, but...oh well. Then Mr. Pepiak came to the rescue and put up a thread on the OFC that an extra AV O was sent to him by mistake! Ooh, can that be the one for me... Okay, so I sound like a naive little idiot, but from everything you all have said, I know this is going to be magnificent; and if ever there was a time to buy a new O, I figured this was it. There's no "E" at the end of the serial number; and there may be a day that some are produced with an "A" (for Asia), but see those three letters between the model # and the serial #? It says "USA." Now, that says it all for me. Like FlySig said, there's gonna be a depreciation that is pretty immediate, but it's really not an investment. This baby is going to get some serious playing time, and I'm gonna take this thing to every music store I frequent over here in Japan, and show them that O is back with a bang (just yesterday, this salesman actually was a bit upset that I kept insisting the Mother Ship was back)! Woohoo! Wait-a-minute is that going to be a problem? Jeez, over exuberance...I hate when that happens...sorry! Edited by arumako 2016-08-27 9:25 AM | ||

It really *is* Exciting isn't it??? I am Over the Moon happy that you were able to get one, and the one you wanted!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!! When does it arrive? Thanks Nancy and Standing. You all are always so kind and supportive! I'm so excited, I can't stay put in my seat. Yikes! Al is waiting on me to get the logistics settled, but I think I'm gonna need to send it to a friend in the West Coast for a couple months before I get the chance to pick it up myself. "Replaceable" isn't an option for a limited build like this one. Even if I do insure it for the full price by sending it DHL or something; if they break it, it's not going to be replaceable! Hmmm..., but you know, I guarantee that everyone who plays this beauty is going to definitely want one, and I know the wait is going to be worth it! | ||
