Al is playing three guitars - don't know what he's playing, but its not his Ovation. That seems like a bit of a slap, considering Ovation uses D'Addario strings nearly exclusively, puts tags to that effect on new guitars etc etc. Legend-LX-Fan Posted 2004-05-09 9:10 PM (#188125 - in reply to #188124) Subject: Re: D'Addario features Al D, *NOT* playing Ovation Joined: November 2002 Posts: 1196 Location: Lafayette, Louisiana I was wondering if he uses Ovations to record with, or does he use them only in live situations?

He chooses to have many aural colors in his pallette. I can appreciate that.
