Here is a question for some of the experts.

Did Ovation ever produce a resonator guitar? A friend of mine swears he has played one but he is not really the reliable type if you know what I mean. Iknow I have never seeen one before.

you probably didn't look far enough.
never a production item. Aqua, Silver and Quilted maple tops, maybe a few others, all buscuit construction.

I have a mongrel spider-cone set up for lap style. Ovation resos are rare, but never say never

The one I saw with the Elite-style soundholes in the shape of palm trees was very cool.

Built a couple- spider & biscuit-types. O's make a wonderful "platform" for construction, especially bolt-on neck models.

There's one in the back row, just left of the 47RI, in this pic. Somewhere I have a better pic of DesignZilla playing it, I'll see if I can dig it up.

So there's the aqua and maple ones accounted for. The silver was like the aqua one, built the same time.
