Ovation PF22 Natural Finish and Black Pickups

Year: 1980

A huge thank you to my friend Philippe from France for the photos of this magnificent PF22. Only a handful were made, they are all prototypes, and almost every single one has a unique configuration. It’s worth noting that the inside of the case was custom-cut so the guitar could fit. No doubt I’ll have to add it to my collection, someday, hopefully... 😉👍🏻 The story of this model by Bill Kaman (from the http://www.ovationfanclub.com archives): The PF-22 We were still trying to have a soild body in the early 80's. Peavey had just come out with their first guitar and bass which had satin finish. Hartley also had just put out an ad that the headline was "It took me 22 years to create this amp" and showed him sitting on the amp holding the guitar. Randy Hess, ad mgr, rest his soul, said we should do an ad with me sitting like Frank in the Phi Zappa Crappa poster, on the can holding the guitar and the headline would be "it took me 22 minutes to create this guitar" Since we were going to kick Peavey's ass with this model we called it the Peavey Fucker. Hence the PF-22. the true story Years later I told Hartley about it at a trade show and we both had a good laugh over it I finally found the ad that started this Peavey story in an old magazine, and I'm sharing it with you here. 😉
