Location: atlanta | Paul, I haven't seen the magazine yet. It's difficult for me to believe that they would feature her signature on the cover, and then do a negative review.
Have you seen the review?

Location: Scotland | Who mentioned anything about a negative review? Do you have inside information?
It's nice to see an Adamas on the cover but AG's reveiwers are a bunch of elitist cork-sniffers, and if it isn't made from Adirondazilion it will be met with feint praise at best. Betcha |

Location: Utah | I loved Kaki's response in her recent interview about how Ovations get no love, but when she puts her guitar in front of a mic in the studio the naysayers shut up. |

Location: atlanta | It's not online yet, but here are a few quotes:
"...excellent craftsmanship..."
"...made at Ovation's flagship workshop, in New Hartford, Connecticut."
"...effortless to play chords and single-note lines up and down the neck, thanks to its silky low action and large frets."
"...has good response and ample headroom."
"...looks as smart as it sounds."
"Finger-picked cluster voicings sound especially nice, with the individual notes clearly discernible, and arpeggios ring together in smooth accord."
"...plugged into a Fender Acoustasonic, and with the preamp set flat, the instrument sounded tremendous---just as it did unplugged, but more massive, with a minimum of coloring."
"...the guitar will make a superb performing, recording and practicing companion for those into nontraditional design and able to afford a premium modern acoustic-electric."

Don't you need to go change a diaper or something? |
