Anyone catch the Grammy Awards show last night? Wyclef Jean playing an O (looked like a Legend cutaway) at the beginning of 'Hips Don't Lie' with Shakira, then passes off the guitar to someone else who's visible in the background for most of the song. If I find a vid capture I'll post the link to the Youtube thread and announce it here.

It looked to me like Wyclef was playing a slim body like a viper with a soundhole with a bung cover, definitely was an ovation by the headstock. Not sure who, he handed it too. Fortunately, I taped it and can look at it later. Then the person in the band was definitely playing a legend. These were the only ovations I spied during the broadcast.

Gibson acoustics, and teles in various guises, seemed to be the guitars of choice.

And I learned that Wyclef was playing either a legend or a custom legend, and he handed it off to a stage hand.

Shakira's guitarist played his own ovation.

So there were two ovations on the grammies.

Location: Williston Park, NY		I kept trying to look at those Ovations during the performance, but for some reason my attention was drawn somewhere else . . .

Your vigilance, nay self-sacrifice above and beyond the call of duty, is greatly appreciated! ;)

I think you're right about the Custom Legend - it looked like it had lots of bling.
