ONCE AGAIN, OVATION REINVENTS THE ACCOUSTIC GUITAR! Ovation's 2005 Collectors' Edition introduces one of the most radical and innovative design options ever to be offered on Ovation guitars - the new Deep Contour body. Made from lightweight composite, the Collectors' Lyrachord GS body produces maximum acoustic response, with the feel of a smaller body instrument.

Along with the ground-breaking Deep Contour bowl, the 2005 Collectors' Edition features a select Englemann Spruce top, 5-piece Mahogany/Maple neck in Natural Gloss finish, deluxe grade Ebony fingerboard with a 12th fret "Contour Curve" Abalone inlay and Ebony bridge. Add in Ovation's Original Patented Pickup and OP Pro preamp - and this 2005 installment to Ovation's celebrated Collectors' Series truly commemorates sheer Ovation innovation for nearly 40 years.

OVATION GUITARS IS PROUD to welcome Nikki Sixx to its family of artists.

Sixx, a legend among bassists and one of founding members of Mötley Crüe--one of the most influential rock bands in history, approached Ovation about building a custom bass. Ovation took on the project with a vengeance and built an acoustic/electric bass that would best reflect Sixx's notorious monster sound. Ovation made Sixx a custom Elite T bass complete with a custom paint job featuring red flame finish and iron cross inlays. Electronics are powered by a customized Ovation Op Pro preamp...which best reflects Nikki's brute tone and style.

Check out Nikki on tour with his custom Ovation Elite T during Mötley Crüe's "Red White and Crüe" tour. The tour, which launches the reunion of Mötley's original lineup of Nikki Sixx, Mick Mars, Tommy Lee and Vince Neil, has been the biggest music headline of 2005. More information on the tour and all the latest Crüe news can be found on their website at www.motleycrue.com.

MEET DANNY KASTNER, the leisure suit-wearing, guitar-strumming contestant on season 3 of NBC and Donald Trump's hit series "The Apprentice." Danny strummed and sang his way into millions of homes across the USA with the help of his Ovation Elite LX. Wherever Dan goes, his Elite LX is always at his side.

We were able to sit down with Danny for an informal question and answer session about his experience on the Apprentice, his love of Ovation's, and his plans (musical and otherwise) for the future.
