Well Louie Shelton, studio musician guitarist extraordinaire, and hit producer (almost ALL of Seals & Crofts) didn't have any problem recording with HIS Ovation, nor did the engineers getting a sound from a guitar that "sounds pretty good... for an Ovation."

P.S. Now, which one would this be? (taken about '72-'73). |

Larry Bird was a pretty good basketball player, for a white dude. |

Location: Nova Scotia, Canada | I got my GC Deluxe Ballaceer prototype from Louie...Glen had given it to him while he was a member of the house band on the Goodtime Hour show. He also included copies of his three solo albums and he is a monster player...and a great guy to boot.

And I am positive too that guitar is all over the Seals & Crofts records...

Location: NJ | Our high school graduation song was S&C's "We May Never Pass This Way Again".
I always liked the tone of that little solo Louie did on that.
Great player. |

You probably know this already but Louie told me he played on a great deal of the Partridge Family stuff.

"...for an Ovation" - Ovation, good enough for Louie Shelton to record with!
