| Hello,
For a while I'm visiting this board and enjoy reading the posts. About six months ago I bought a pretty rare Ovation Country Artist with a Baldwin Prismatone pickup from a OFC member. I am very happy with, but I would like to know more about it. The guitar is in absolutely mint condition and I guess it's from 1970 or 1971.
I know that it all started with Glen Campbell, who played Jerry Reed's Baldwin during his "Goodtime Hour" show while he was under endorsement from Ovation. Ovation wasn't amused and wanted to act quickly; so they approached Baldwin and bought a bunch of their pickups and slapped them one some of their guitars. They didn't particularly liked the Baldwin pickup and so they started developing their own electrical classic guitar.
Is there more information available, or is this pretty all there is?
Thanks a lot!

Location: Jet City | Hendrick, I don't know much other than what was written in the Ovation book, but there are those that would. Unfortunately, there are only a few people that can respond to newbies here. Maybe you could post this over in the main general area. I've updated your account to full member. |
