Sorry Al,

I'd buy half of what's on your website if could. But it's going to be a long time until I can afford to buy any guitar again.

Lots of thinking, but that's about as far as I got before I remembered that we'll be getting a bill from the roofer in the next couple weeks. Trying to retire sucks when the bills keep coming in.

OMG - I just received the guitar about 30 hours after ordering it and it is absolutely stunning, It is a real work of art that the pictures can't do justice to.

Thanks Al for the great deal and lightning fast delivery and if anyone is on the fence about buying his other one's he has in stock I wouldn't hesitate, My only issue is that my wife took delivery when I was out ( yikes ). Anyway all is well - Thanks again.

There's one less available, now that mine arrived (thanks Al!)

These are gorgeous, limited-edition, USA-made (deep bowl!) guitars at an unbelievable price.

If you're on the fence, or anywhere near the fence, I'd strongly suggest that you call Al for a quote before they all get snatched up…

OK, I kicked myself for months now, but I happened to get a tax refund just in time for my 65th birthday, so I stopped kicking and called Al.
I'll do a report in a few days.

I haven't played it, but it's just what I wanted, a traditional deep bowl legend in sunburst. When these came out, I kicked myself because I had just bought the 2078 le. It's a fine guitar, but I've never been a fan of the contour bowl (I just didn't see the need and thought it was inconsistent with Ovation's basic premise) and I prefer the sound of a center hole over the Elite style. Also, I didn't have a sunburst, although I got the VXT in sunburst.
Anyway, I bought the 2078 thinking it would be the last US made Ovation and then they come out with the 1617 ALE, but with a pretty steep price tag. A tax refund coinciding with my 65th birthday seemed like a sign I had to follow. This may be my last guitar, although SWMBO claims I always say that.

SWMBO also said I should sell off some of the ones I don't use, but I didn't hear that part. Besides, tuning them counts as using them and I've tuned most all of them recently.

It arrived today, a week ahead of my birthday, but SWMBO couldn't keep a secret. It's beautiful, sounds great, but I have 4 guitars on the floor now, so I took a couple of pictures that I'll try to post tomorrow and started making room on the wall for a couple more.
