Wow! That is a beauty

Not my first pick as the most beautiful guitar ever, but still a very fine piece of art

The first one was very nice! Didn't like the second one though.

Very nice guitars

I'm sorry but I think that Ovation is hideous . The Gibson and Martin guitars are awesome

Posted by: superize May 19 2008, 11:05 AM

I didnt like it either

Posted by: fkalich May 19 2008, 11:16 AM

agree. They have really held value, even more than Martins. But Martins are nice.

I suspect the Martin being plain has something to do with it being from Pennsylvania. They have been around 175 years, a long time for an American company. Longest I know of. But that is traditional Amish country. And other religious sects were located in that state, such as Shakers, Mennonites, and of course Quakers, where simplicity was considered a virtue. Thus my theory of the traditional plain look of Martins.

I would also always pick the Gibsons first, but Ovation would be my second choice for sure

Posted by: Ivan Milenkovic May 19 2008, 07:23 PM

I really don't like the looks of it. It has awesome features tho

Posted by: Hammerin Hank May 19 2008, 07:34 PM

I agree with audio nice ART...........I had an Ovation similar but I didn't like the sound plugged in.
It had great action but really thin sound.

I own an Alvarez Jumbo and that plays beautiful for the money.....
I'd love a Taylor 600 series or Martin OMC red birch

Posted by: Erol May 19 2008, 08:29 PM

damn... ovation sure make the best looking acoustic guitars on the planet. i don't know about features, I've never had a chance to play one.. but if it suits Yngwie, why wouldn't it suit us

Posted by: axelsson May 19 2008, 08:37 PM

I own one, I it's undeniable that they sound great! I would love an acoustic nylon viper like the one Yngwie uses

Posted by: Muris Varajic May 22 2008, 01:02 AM

Luke plays Adamas...and Luke is a wise old man

Posted by: Erol May 23 2008, 02:06 AM

I'd kill for a that viper

Posted by: Juan M. Valero May 23 2008, 09:06 AM

It's a beautiful guitar... but not for me
I like my acoustic guitar, it's not a great guitar but I love it, I think I should record some lessons with it.

Posted by: FrankW May 30 2008, 03:21 AM

That really is a beautiful guitar! If it sounds as good as it looks, I'm in!

Posted by: sidewas lightning Jun 5 2008, 06:18 PM

very beautiful, but I still think the silver sg diablo is better.

Ovation are very abnormal type of guitars, and I think you either like it or you don't. Sorry I don't But it still is a very nice piece of craftmanship!

Posted by: Chiruki Jun 6 2008, 11:12 AM

Posted by: Nemanja Filipovic Jun 6 2008, 11:27 AM
