Here's a shot of three Thunderheads. The Nutmeg belongs to Karl which he asked me to ship to Germany for him later this week. Red one is mine and the Blonde is recently obtained from CrimsonLake.

Wow those are great looking I really like the red one in the middle. Bet they sound sweet playing some blues and jazz. :)

Blondes, Brunettes, Redheads ... I wouldn't say "no" to any of them.

That's right. Very special Nutmeg Thunderhead living out in San Diego.

Dave, didn't you have another photo of a bunch of Ovation archtops? I recall wondering about these models years back when I first joined this forum, then was blown away by your Ovation website and your Storm series photos in particular.

Very nice "trio", Nutmeg and Blonde are fine, however the Red has one more stuff that i'm fond of.

Dave;

The orientation of the bridge pickup on your guitar is reversed compared to the other ones...did it come like that or did you change it for some reason?

I took it apart awhile ago to clean the PU mini jack connections and I guess just put it back together backwards.

Chet Atkins used to do that on his guitars just to get a different tone....

... Um, YEAH. That's right. I did extensive experimentation and found that the soundscape was quite enhanced with the reversal of the pickup. Thanks for reminding me Paul.

I didn't know they made basses (bases? basis?). I'd dig that one on the left.

This is one I got from Miles several years ago...


My Storms (behind a Italian made Wurlitzer), you can see the nutmeg T-head from Dave between the Tornado and Typhoon...since added the 12-string Hurricane.
