You, sir, are not the Lizard King! So funny (not to mention well-done).
Thanks. I have a very high opinion of US-made Ovations. I bought that guitar from Mandolin Bros. in late 87 or early 88. I was booked for some one-man jobs and was just starting to learn MIDI. I needed a guitar that could play everything - country, finger-style folk, distorted rock leads, pop -- the works.
I originally wanted a Guild Songbird. The sales guy had a dim opinion of both
Songbirds and Ovations. He kept trying to sell me a brand I'd never heard of - Taylor.
He was pushing Taylors hard.
Finally, he told me he didn't care for either of my options, but would take the O over the SB. The next two years or so I played 1-man band jobs w/a Kawai K1 synth, a desktop - yes a desktop computer - and that Ovation. Later on, I used a laptop.
What did I sound like? I sounded like that recording sans the girl group.
Looking back, it's probably the best music I ever made in my life. The Ovation fit
my needs perfectly and the Kawai K1 was an inspiration. Wow, what a string pad.
Synths don't sound like that today. Neither do Ovations.
Funny, in 1973 I went shopping for an Ovation and ended up buying a Guild - a D25.
in the late 80's I went shopping for a Guild and ended up buying an Ovation.
