Ovation for Christmas- not what I expected - with pics

Designzilla Posted 2008-12-27 1:48 PM (#5004) Subject: Ovation for Christmas- not what I expected - with pics Joined: December 2004 Posts: 2150 Location: Orlando, FL My wife got me a 2007 Collector's for Christmas. I knew she got it for me. My daughter was very upset when she caught me "inspecting it for damage" before Christmas. So, on Christmas morning, when I opened the case this is what I saw... I was really surprised, it took a few second for my brain to figure out what I was seeing... There was actually a 2007 Collector's around somewhere... My son enjoyed shredding on the uke once he saw it could be plugged in... I dropped in an idea preamp, I'll let you know how that works out. Thanks Al! 2ifbyC Posted 2008-12-27 2:10 PM (#5005 - in reply to #5004) Subject: Re: Ovation for Christmas- not what I expected - with pics Joined: December 2006 Posts: 6268 Location: Florida Central Gulf Coast Now THAT"S funny!

We want to hear some shredding on the uke (and some blues on the 07C).

It's a really nice guitar. Big booming bass, but very even sounding. Very nice addition. My wife likes the sound better than the 47 RI. Not sure about that, I haven't played it since I got this one... stonebobbo Posted 2008-12-28 4:21 AM (#5014 - in reply to #5004) Subject: Re: Ovation for Christmas- not what I expected - with pics Joined: August 2002 Posts: 8307 Location: Tennessee Nice looking 07BCS Steve. A lot more visible claw marks than mine. I like mine a lot and you're going to like it more and more the more you play it. lady stonebobbo would agree with your wife. We did a sound comparison of the same song played on a wide range of my guitars ... she picked the 07 over all of them, including an OFC Ding!-O. The OFC didn't even come in second (or even third). :cool: slydog Posted 2008-12-28 9:23 AM (#5015 - in reply to #5004) Subject: Re: Ovation for Christmas- not what I expected - with pics Joined: April 2005 Posts: 200 Location: Melbourne Fl.
