I don't think the body was alder - mahogany, maybe? Paul Templeman Posted 2004-07-07 10:50 AM (#183328 - in reply to #183326) Subject: Re: Ovation's idea of a Les Paul?

The UK2 was their stab at a Les Paul. Stevechapman Posted 2004-07-09 1:56 PM (#183329 - in reply to #183326) Subject: Re: Ovation's idea of a Les Paul?

Ovation was ahead of it's time on solidbody Electrics.I wish they still offered a few of them.
