I'm a new member! But a veteran of other special interest forums. I have a question for the veterans of Ovation.
I just bought a
Ultra GS II Electric Guitar
Can anyone enlighten me on the history
of the Ultra GS II? :( |

Location: Carle Place, NY | I think the bodies were made in Korea and the assembly was done here in the US. Nice guitars. I played one about a year ago and I was surpirsed at the general quality. Basic Strat guitar, but they came is several pick-up and bridge configurations. S/S/S, H/S/S, Single H, fulcrum trem bridge, and Kahler, Floyd Rose style bridge. |

thanks Mate!
No I bought it off a guitar collector. He posted it on craigslist. So I went to his house which was nearby and tried it out first before I bought it. It was smooth and played very well. He had it set up with a peavey amp. So I played Chet Atkins "classical Gas" and a few bars of Doobie Brothers. I tested volume knobs and tuner which were instantly responsive. beautiful sound. I spent a n hour and a half just playing it.
he cared for the guitar very well since he bought it brand new in the 80s. Still all original parts.
best to Brizzy town. Have a friend(plays keyboards in a band) there in the local music scene. By the name of Hawkan M.
