Location: Lafayette, Louisiana | Would Ovation ever consider making an acoustic amp? Who knows more about acoustic electric guitars than they do? |

Location: The Great Pacific Northwest | I understand that Kaman worked closely with Trace Elliott and now also with Genz Benz. Both of these names have been staples in the industry for what they do for along time. Although I'm sure Ovation could build an amp, why bother. Let someone else have the R & D headache and they reap the rewards of distributing them. |

Location: Madison, Wisconsin | Seems like in walking around the factory the only amps I remember seeing at various test sites were either Genz Benz or older Trace Elliot's. |
