You gotta remember, there was a time when everybody played Ovations and Adamas.

There is one on the stage behind him, and one of his band is playing one also. Several of his concerts that I went to over the years, he was playing Ovations.

I think at one time or another, he had played everything ever built, including Takemine.

There are numerous photos on the Internet of him playing Adamas guitars.

Just an awesome songwriter and artist, who was his own worst enemy...as quite a few end up being. He certainly changed his tastes in guitars during his carreer.

I've seen this concert. He plays a bunch of Os as well as a few other guitars. The band plays some Os too.

I think he also played one of his Mossman guitars at this concert.
