Location: Yucaipa, California | The So. Cal. PBS stations are in the middle of their pledge break and they aired the Seattle Heart Concert on Saturday night... Nancy played her blue Legend 12 (I guess that's the right model).... very nice! |

Location: Canton (Detroit), MI | I have the DVD. Actually, I believe it is Ann's 12-string. Looks like a custom blue Legend shallow-bowl. There is a web site that has a picture of that guitar and another Ovation 12-string she has. If I find it again(it's been months since I looked at it), I'll post the link.
Nancy uses a Legend 12-string in her guitar lesson video as well.
Counting the days until my wife and I see them on August 16th. Their new album "Jupiter's Darling" comes out next week.......

It's great to see them do a new release. I look forward to hearing them do more. |

Location: Canton (Detroit), MI | Paul M. is right, it's a Balladeer....I've never had a close enough look at it to see that it didn't have binding on the neck. Mike Lull's site is where I saw the guitars a few months back. Ann's other natural Custom Legend (looks like it at least) 12-string looks like the one Nancy uses in her instructional video.
This blue Balladeer 12-string is also used by them in "The Road Home" video.
The new release is supposed to be very hard rocking, so don't hold your breath for any acoustic stuff on it.

Location: Canton (Detroit), MI | Looking at the blue 12-string some more, I can see why I was crossed up.....the headstock is BLACK, and it appears to be a shallow-bowl. If it's a Balladeer, it's WAY custom. Custom color, custom headstock finish, and it's a shallow-bowl(don't think stock Balladeer 12-strings have come in shallow-bowl for many years, if ever). I figured it was a custom color 1866 Legend.

Location: Upper Left USA | Let's face it guy's. After the first "Oh, my gawsh!" every one of you would would be checking the guitar type, style, serial # and label if you had good seats! Moody and Cliff could both tell you what gage the strings were and if they were Poly coated or Nano Coated!
BTW - When you have people handing you a first issue Adamas and saying "please play me" how do you play anything but a custom whatzit after that?
The Wilson sisters are in my mind the two most beautiful sirens to ever hold a pick and sing a song. They are one of the Icons of my generation and every time I catch one of their performances I am carried away.
Sigh!! :rolleyes: |

I remember going to see a band with my "date" in the '70s and having her dance/leave with someone else because all I wanted to do was check out the guitars and watch the guitarists to learn their chops! :cool: ...sigh... had GAS even then! :rolleyes: |

Location: Fayetteville, NC | Just visited the official Heart Website. Heard some clips from the new LP. Yep still Some great acoustic work in there and some real Rockers too.
In The Photo Gallery though.. no shots of Ovations being played. In one shot you can see the back of an Ovation 12 String in the guitar rack. Hope there will still be some Ovations on this tour. |

Actually, Ann has lost a lot of weight. I saw her on a show on The Learning Channel about gastric bypass surgury, which Ann had a few years back. She looked pretty good. She's not thin by any means, but she looks much thinner and healthier. If you ask me (and no one did), I think Ann has one of the greatest voices in the history of rock music, if not the best. I'm glad that she is still out there performing. |

Location: SoCal | Ann had the stomach banding, not gastric bypass. Same results. The goal is health, not babe looks.
My wife had gastric bypass surgery in January and is down almost 80 lbs. She feels better physically and mentally. The returned babe looks are a wonderful by product. |
