I just read it, enjoy it, occasionally contribute, and don't let it ruin my day.
Well said.
I occasionally read some of the posts on other guitar forums. I usually ignore the Ovation bashing that sometimes goes on.
I own and enjoy the 2 Martins I have.
I also enjoy the 4 Ovations I have. :cool: |

PS - Quit wasting time posting here and go make me a CD label ... |

Location: Las Vegas, Nevada | Here's a novel thought: It's not the instrument, it's the player. In the professional music world (hmm, professional used with respect to the music world is also a kinda abstract idea) there are lots of folks that you can hand any kind of a guitar to and they will make them all sound good. I hear players in the studios doing this all the time. This " my Taylor is better than your Collings is better than your Ovation is better than your Martin and I am upgrading to something else and on and on" is all kinda silly, self-defeating, glass-half-empty stuff. How much it costs is all relative and of course there are tonal and quality differences in the range of instruments. I have seen it before here in the forum where it has been said, "Why don't you stop typing and go practice playing guitar" 'cause after all, that's what it is about, right, the joy of playing music, instead of arguing about what's better or who spent more money? |

Here's a novel thought: It's not the instrument, it's the player. How right you are.
My wife and I just got back from a cruise. While in Mexico there were two guys on the street playing beat up gut strings, action about 1/4" high, old belts for straps. They had La Bamba down pat.
Wish I had taken their picture and posted it.
Guess I'll have to go back. :D |
