| Of cource it will cost a lot but hey thats the way it is?? First of all take a ADAMAS black walnut neck with K-Bar.. Match it up with Adirondack or german spruce.. LX style X brace, of cource modified by me.. Rosewood bowl either roundback or A-Wedge with Op Pro or LR BAGGS electronics... All figured maple or Korina bindings , Gloss fingerboard and neck as well as the whole body .. Access door and pinless bridge with keyways in top for the string balls.. No lifted bridges.. YUMM!!! Waist forward design to give a 12 fret guitar boom to it with keeping the 14 fret playability . Not to mention no sliding off the knee or uncomfortable standing playability if its an A-Wedge..
Scallopped cutaway
NO heel!!!
Bolt on neck!! Neck set might sound better though???
More to it but thats my 2 cents.. Thanks |

| I like the K-Bar because it only needs adjusting 2 times a year.. |

You have to adjust the neck? Luthiers are often perfectionists. I've seen his work on the the inlays on the S771 cedar topped models at GC, I think he qualifies.
Very intrigueing guitar he's thinking about. Am I right in that he's talking about a wooden roundback guitar? That's an interesting strategy if Ovation should pursue it. I think it would get alot of people who don't give USA made Ovations a chance to pick one up and try it. You know those people like Fretjob in the other new member thread. Could marketing be thinking outside the box?
Or is he just thinking about his next home-made basement project?
Who knows? He certainly is a tease, though! |
