I told myself I was done buying roundbacks for a while, but this one's got me excited. You just don't find them often. Actually, it's the first one I've seen for sale.

Aside from the obvious synth interface, it's the got some of the best action I've ever had on an Ovation, no buzzing at all. I don't know if this thing was played much as I can't even find a pick mark on it. It's also sporting my favorite preamp, the Optima. All this in a very comfortable SSB, and sounds better than my mid bowl 1771LX if you ask me.

Been having lots of fun with this plugged into the Roland Synth. I have the flute and singing parts down for Breaking the Girl (sounds awesome with the band), and was working on the sax part for Maneater last night... yeah lots of fun.

 

And some pics...

Yeah, but I got a lot of 'em and it's getting pretty hard to justify (even to myself). They'd have to be something pretty special and or unique (not to mention affordable).

Location: Fort Worth, TX		That is one GORGEOUS guitar! How fortunate for you to own it. I never had the opportunity to play with a synth guitar and have no idea what you can do with one. If I came across one of those in pristine condition though I'd be a happy happy happy guy.

I think that might only be the 2nd or 3rd that I have ever seen and I can't really remember if they had the same setup as yours or not.
