My main guitar, and my main Ovation is a 1271 Ovation Viper Electric from 1975. I use it for everything, and it doesn't really produce much hum for a single coil guitar.

Our band has gone to playing a lot more really upbeat stuff requiring a dirtier electric sound, for which I've been primarily using the VXT, but I forgot to add that for weekly rehearsals, I keep two guitars in the bandroom on site so I don't have to haul gear back and forth. My rehearsal guitars consist of a 1567 SSB for acoustic and the UKii for electric, both oldies with a combined age of 53 years, but goodies nonetheless.

I couldn't decide, so I made a list of things one would look for in a guitar (playability, tone, bass, treble, volume, weight, looks even.) I rated the six 6-string acoustics that I own. (I didn't count the 12 string or the UKII ;) )

It came out that the OFCI JUST beat out the LX and the cutaway Adamas, which tied for second - by only one point.

I think my goal is to find one that combines all of the things I consider number one. I want the bass and playability of the cutaway Adamas. I want the sparkly trebles of the LX. I want the lightweigt comfort of the contour bowl. I want the op-pro electronics.

Guess I'll just have to keep buying more until I find it!
