Location: Paris/France | Paul, thank you so much for sharing!!
Like I've said to Paul, I've asked to John Budny from the factory for using the pics on O.T.
I don't want to use them without their agreement because I don't want to disturb the official launch of the VXT!!
Even if the VXT is shown in Frankfurt, I'll feel much relieved if they're ok.
The page is ready and you can be sure that it will be viewable as soon as I will have a positive reply from New Hartford!!

Location: Capital District, NY, USA Minor Outlying Islands | For anyone going to Musicmess in Frankfurt, would it be possible to check out the new Takamine small bodied acoustic. Is it "a tuned", or is it, just a short scale. Thanks. |

Location: Scotland | There is a Martin New Yorker style (0-size) on the Takamine booth. This is a full scale guitar tuned regular. It is VERY nice. |

Location: Scotland | Got a chance to get a closer look this afternoon. It´s a 14 fret slothead, koa back and sides, looks bigger than an 0, probably closer to an 00. Direct-out preamp without controls.
Also got to hear Matt demoing the VXT. This will give the T5 some serious competition. Very impresive electric performance and convincing acoustic tone. At one point Matt played with an overdriven electric tone blended with the acoustic sound. Totally unique and very cool. Nice to see a new electric solidbody with an Ovation headstock after all these years. |

Location: Capital District, NY, USA Minor Outlying Islands | Thanks for the update on the taks. If I got a wood box, it would be a tak.
I bet that VXT sounded good. Can't wait to try one. |

THE VXT IN FRANKFURT
It's been a so long time since we saw an Ovation logo on a solid body headstock...
