After over 30 years, I am getting the desire for a new Ovation. I have a Breadwinner and an Balladeer (non-electric). I won't take my acustic out of the house so I am looking for something that I don't have to worry about and I want to be able to "plug-in". The Tangent MOB got my attention. The blue top and the different sound holes, and headstock caught my eye. It sounded good pluged-in. I am used to a deep bowl so it sounded a bit subdued without an amp. I don't know the model, but I played another that is all grey and even the top had a rough texture. It was a mid-size bowl so it sounded better un-plugged and sounded great plugged in. However, found that if my hand or fingernails rubber the rough textured top, it made a disruptive noise.
I am in no hurry and usually shop around for a while before I decide what I want.
Thanks for your time.

The grey one was probably an Elite T. I played a mid depth bowl with new strings on it in a music store and thought it sounded wonderful.

Try a search on Elite T, we have had many discussions about it and the MOB. I am a fan of the Elite T but I prefer you hear every voice.
