cr@ppy pics as not feeling well, also red/metallic/flames are darn hard to capture well.

But here's the red strings Sambo.

Bloody Loud :twisted:

I took a shim out to get action low as pos. Near buzz after 15th frets on B and e but can live with it.
GREAT unfinished neck, ultra smooth.
Plays like a Fat Body Electric :)

Only have my "toy" Roland Micro pube so no real opinion on amped sound but (as Ovation are known for Electric Sound) am sure it's great.
Onboard tuner is really nifty too.

Overal, great sound, darker than lighter. And Darned LOUD!

I mean the thing that Branson should be running :)

Hey, went to see guy who owns store where I take lessons today. He basically converted part of his house.
Has some classic/crazy 80's guitars for peanuts. NO I don't wan't anymore.
But these things "should" be flying off his walls (he is new in business so may explain).

Has a red and a white washburn thru neck that look like Gibson Explorers.
A Peavey Vandenberg (like this) http://www.jcguitars.com/pvvandrd2.JPG
Two Charvels (one black one white crakle)
One Kramer

All with matching cases or at least cases and in the $200 range. Just mentioning as these are classic "rock" guitars for good prices I think.

Any interest and I can get pics/specs/prices.
