Location: Mt Clemens, MI USA | I just bought a Cedar GC S 771-C today! I like it. I have been giving myself headaches for months debating on whether to get a new acoustic or not. My cash is so low, but you know that GAS. I traded in a couple electrics that I never ever play to make it affordable.
I was thinking of a Taylor 110 or the Ovation. I got the Ovation because it gave me a little more: I get the cut away, the electronics, and the good playability.
I just plugged the new O into my bullet 15 amp and it sounded fine! I got a little flange/chorus thing going which worked well for the song Julia. It was fun playing with the amp. Anyway I’m happy to own an Ovation. I like it so far, sharp edge and all |

You will sing better too! |

Location: Mt Clemens, MI USA | Thanks all! Still enjoying the new guitar. Jasin, yeah, I would love that teardrop burst--very cool. If that guitar was available I would have snagged it up like that. I am a big fan of "burst" finishes. That teardrop burst reminds me of John Lennon's acoustic/electric Gibson, so that makes it extra cool! M Woody, I still sit and play, but this guitar, unlike my other, has a place for a strap so I stand too now. I walk around the yard and play. |
