I dunno why, I seem to like the non-natural finishes. My main "O" is a Legend 1867 with a Blus Sparkel finish. Just happeneind to be the one that was in the store.

The vintage toner on the book series is very nice.

Traditional Acoustics (i.e. my Martin dread)- Natural

Everything else - Black or Red. Maybe a sunburst now and then.

My vote is with -4 for most ovations... however my Fender Newporter has a wonderful mahogany finish that I do favor.

AVJ,
Here's your chance! I was born in Brockton MA and lived for a while in Quincy. Go Bruins! When I came out West in the middle of 8th grade they taught me that the letter "R" is not a vowel.

I also had a 1615 Pacemaker for a while. Loved it! No doubt I will pick another up whenthe time is right.

Where do you play?

Say it with me.... BRAAHHK-TIN. I am an Eastie resident living lterally right behind Santarpios with a prime view of Logan. Ya... I know...scenic!

For my first Ovation 12 string, I love my 1115. I didn't really look for a 1615, don't think I would ever really need to plug in a 12, although I am sure it sounds sweet.

Since you no longer have the 1615, have you come across any 12 string ovations that are noteworthy? I haven't had much luck in being able to play a few differnt 12 string O's.

Go Sox and Pats... to bad about Andrusi leaving. :(

"have you come across any 12 string ovations that are noteworthy?"

Bwah-ha-ha-ha-ha!

After the 1615 I received a Custom Legend 12 from Johnny Purple/Strumming12 - lusciouos!

This I sold to obtain an Adamas 1598 which I am attempting to grow into. Save your milk-money in case one of six Baritone 12 string Adamas II's come out of hiding!

Any model that combines the terms "LX" and "12 string" is a no brainer as well.

Hit the Lotto and I can ask for a Slotheaded, textured top, CNS Necked, New bowl, Baritone 12 with an OP Pro and a GPS/Ipod!

I'm a sunburst kind of guy. Have two and working on the third. I think Ovation has some of the best burst in the industry!

NEB is a sweet color.

I always wanted a blue o with a darker blue burst on the edge.

Ray Davies has one....I love it.

I have never seen a USA O in blue. I tried a brand new Adamas that was dirt cheap but didn't float my boat but had it been the blue top(which I have never seen in person) it would have been mine totally.

Oh, I live in Brockton. Small freekin world.

Last year Willie Nelson and Dylan played our baseball stadium 2 miles from me. Cheap tickets but those voices for 3 hours? Nope.

This year Def Leppard and Brian Adams are doing a show there. What a wacky combo that is but hey if tickets are cheap I can walk there. LOL.
