Definately great unplugged sound.
Perfect for song like "Long Black Viel"
Its a little on heavy side and physical depth side of kinda a bit to reach around.
Its a sitting down instrument.
Plugged it doesn't sound good.
1988 under saddle the came with guitar.
Never figured out why. Mic"ing it is a pain.
The Ovation Elite LX sounds great unplugged and hard to beat it plugged in.
Real easy to play. You can easily stand or sit and play.
It your playing out the Ovation will take more abuse.
Built in tuner, pinless bridge, strap locks, easy battery access.
The sound X braced is brighter sounding than the older Ovations.
Glen Campbell played Ovations and I had one in the early 70s, that mostly memorable time when I had plans to go to back to Europe and become a folksinger.taabru45 said:I've always loved the look of the top, Didn't Glen Cambell play one?

Yes I would agree, personally playing unplugged my BCS side by side with my D-25SB I noticed that the latter is louder and more bassy, while the Ovation is more balanced on all the register and has MORE sustain, almost like an electric guitar.
Of course the Ovation is more confortable to play, in every aspect, the D-25 more strength and I'm always concerned of hitting something around with the sides and the back.

Used to be, still am, a huge Josh White fan, met him it Toronto, at a coffee house. He apologized for not having any time right then, but said to drop up in the hotel where he was staying...WOW. This 19 year old kid was.................WOW. He was playing for a week and I got to see him several times, and was invited to the coffee house as his guest anytime....every night suited me fine...That is where I met my 1st Ovation, the Josh White model...wider fingerboard, and 12th fret at the body...Weirdest guitar I ever saw, but nice memories there. He played a small Martin at the gig, and the Ovation was the prototype guitar. Probably about 64..I was crushed when Josh died at 59 I think in 69. He used to place his cigarette above his ear....died of a heart attack... Steffan
