This guitar isn't available any more and has such a shy web presence - I was wondering if anyone here can shed some light on it. I emailed Ovation and they said there were Korean and USA versions of this - and that they no longer produce them - they're available from a handful of online retailers in the US and Europe Its coming from the US (I'm in Canada) this week - I noticed it has a 1 7/8" width nut - that's cool...I'm primarily a finger style player. I know it's not a a 'real' Ovation in the traditional sense..... I have always been a fan of the Gibson Chet Atkins SST - and have owned one, and a lot of guitars with no sound hole - chambered - (the challenge of trying to make them sound like a real acoustic guitar is fun). I'd be interested in what this group thinks of it. Old Man Arthur Posted 2018-08-09 6:47 PM (#544846 - in reply to #544844) Subject: Re: Dave Amato Signature Viper DPK5 - anyone try one?
