    always luved the sound of an ovation guitar , so much I bought one eventually , mines a steel string so a bit different but I really like the sound of this , much warmer but still with that ovation sound , very cool , and very well played by both Lemmon and Brandon , nylon strings bring a touch of class to the game , nice to se something different too , thanks guys.

    The Ovation was designed to be LOUD and rugged. Due to its shape, it is usually played standing with a strap. Part of the reason for the textured back is to make it less slippery when seated. It takes a developed skill to play it softly. Great GOTD!

I bought a Balladeer model when I was in tech school in 1975 and it didn’t take long to realize how little projection it actually had. I took it with me to Germany and left it there.
