What a spreadsheet! This answeres a hundred questions at a glance. BTW: When I bought my first O in 1974 many models were available in "electro-acoustic" and simply "acoustic" versions. My Legend 1117 was "simple acoustic"; Was this option general across-the-board for Ovation back then? Don't see it anymore....

It is a MASTERFUL piece of work and I think the author and co-contributors should all be applauded for their efforts

I don't want to rain on anyone's parade.....
but lines 50 thru 55 list some Adamas models (including #47 re-issue) as having a center hole style top.
What a great document.

Brad, you get to add your name to the contributors now! Having 100 or more eyes looking it over is what is making it great!

Very cool resource.

Some refinements....

The Storm series guitars are all listed as semi-hollow, which implies a center sustain block connected to both the top and bottom of the guitar. I believe they are all fully hollowbody instead. The center block is connected only to the top to support the bridge and pickups.

And I didn't see any Super Shallow bowls as compared to Shallow. For instance, the 6868LX is a Super Shallow.

The 1624/1674 are considered Shallow bowls, not Mid. Side by side with a modern Mid- there is a subtle difference.

Mitzdawg is THE MAN. A few others of us just fix up and add small bits. That's for all the eagle-eyes spotting the errors.
