2013 "Buy No Guitars" Challenge - **WINNERS ANNOUNCED**


Feynman

I'm out.

Tah-lee's SS (custom?) is en route.

It was fun while it lasted and frankly, I'm pleased I lasted this long. Might've made it longer if my GAS had been quelled by a certain Custom Cali that's still in CT. :P

I knew I had no chance in 2013 (4 so far, and counting B)). But at least, as Ana would say, I assume myself. :P:lol:

I was smart enough not to ever claim I would buy no guitar.

Mid 1970's Ovation Deacon, modified. Hot single coil pups (from an Ovation Viper of the same era), piezo saddles and preamp added, stereo output jack to split the piezo signal from the pups, and a Koa veneered pickguard.

Awesome! Ace's original choice in axe!

Here's another Rock and Roll icon playing that Ovation:

I'm out and on a bad gamble/decision. F-ed up, big time.

Is there a good story behind this?

Generally speaking, a bad gamble or decision is not good story fodder. But a good lesson has (hopefully) been learned.

Hold on a second, there. That's like placing a bet on the Super Bowl halfway through the second quarter.

I missed this thread the first time. I've been on a no guitar/bass/trombone thing since I bought my second stingray 5. What I need to do now is get rid of some. too. many. guitars.

This is mission impossible.

I just sold off a bunch of transformers I had lying around to accumulate cash for a purchase. I need to sell off My Sheraton

and a few more amp parts I have lying around to have the amount I need.

It never ends.........
