hi has anyone used a walk up guitar stand for an Ovation?
if so can you offer up some info on a good one?
not to crazy about this plastic looking one, that runs through it and connects to the strap pegs.
has anyone seen a more sturdy one like the second picture?
would be nice if Ovation made proper stands to hold there own instruments!

The best ones I saw were those used by Jon Camp and Mike Dunford. They were built out of actual Ovation bowls. The upper part of the bowl was cut off and the bottom edge of the bowl had a lip. So you just basically cradled the guitar in there all nice an snug .. bowl within a bowl so to speak. The bottom was bonded to a heavy duty stand at just the right spot to balance the guitar correctly. The bottom of the stand was firmly affixed with sheet of black plywood upon which all the other pedals, etc were mounted.
