Location: undisclosed | I used to use polyester resin with fiberglass on boats before I upgraded to epoxy. Since epoxy is mostly solids very little goes into the air. I'll take your word for it, I'm glad I wasn't there! The boats were done outside.Still the mantra of production would be along the lines of "the smell of money". |

Location: The Great Pacific Northwest | For me it was Sound and Design probably in equal portions. I found some of my favorite guitar players at the time played them, but that was almost after-the-fact. Although, truth be told, being made in CT put them on my radar. I hadn't thought much about brand, or where a guitar was made or who made them. I had an S&H Greenstamp acoustic and the Tiesco electric. I was offered the opportunity to buy a new Acoustic to take into the Navy with me, and there was a Guitar Store that sold guitars made in CT. That got me to the show. They played nice, sounded nice, and honestly I figured all guitars played and sounded nice at that point in my life, but this one was built to last and it was made in my home state. It was a no-brainer as they say. |

Location: Seacoast NH | Had a car stolen when I was 18, got an insurance check, and wound up at a music store with a fist full of cash. Played everything in there over several hours. Knew nothing about Ovation at the time, but kept coming back to that Elite 6768. Had never played anything that felt as good, sounded as good, or looked as cool. Went in looking for a Strat, came out with an Ovation. And 25 years (and several other Os and an A) later I know I absolutely made the right call. Thing still feels, sounds, and looks awesome. |

Blue guitars sound best.......
So Blue Guitars Sound Best
But what about the lonely red one in the corner
it's 6 of one half a dozen of the other to me
What do I like about Ovations besides there amazing sound,unique looks and awesome craftsmanship....that we have the best warranty and repair service there is!!!!!!
The Red adamas 1688-2 just came back to me after a trip to the mothership for extensive work now it looks like new,plays like a dream and sounds killer,That's what I Love About Ovations.

| I started guitar when I was 15. when I turned 21 went to Reno and after winning a lot of cash was able to by my first (model #1139). Everyone (pros) were playing them. Best sounding guitar I have ever owned. I gave up playing at 25 for over 25 years. Getting back to playing wanted that sweet sound again (makes you want to play). I have gone through 5 looking for that sound, a CK057, CC11, AA21, CC67, and now a #1617. The #1617 is a project guitar that may finial get me the sound I was missing. The Mother Ship has been great with helping for parts.
So here are the reasons: Playable, the sound, and great support, what more could you ask? |
