Of all the hybrid guitars I've played, and that would be most if not all of them, the ones that had the best acoustic sound for me were those with a regular acoustic bridge rather than piezo elements embedded into electric guitar saddles. [/QB] Based on my own personal experience and ears, this may be the reason I give the nod to the EA68 over the VXT for acoustic only tone. Of course, the VXT provides other features and benefits that the EA68 does not, but they're both very useful guitars for live gigging. Everybody should have a few of each. |

Location: Boise, Idaho | I just remembered what Adrian said about the bridge. (I really think I'm showing signs of the dimentia that runs in the family.) He said he could never get the intonation right. I remember thinking that I'd heard of that problem with all acoustic guitars, but my ears aren't good enough to hear the difference.
alienstarguest, if you haven't figured it out by now, I have the least knowledge in this area. There are a bunch of Duotone fans on the Hamer Fan Club site. |

(or did y'forget THAT too? ;-) Mine is "DIMentia" with an emphasis on the dim. I'm sure my mother's is dementia, though.
I can't forget what I don't know, although I should have figured out it was derived from demented, and not some sort of measuring device. I promise that I'll remember it from now on. |

Any of you Ovation fans pass any loyalty to Hamer guitars ? And Fender Impact?
