Joined: November 2006 Posts: 62 Location: Canada | I understand there is a book on Ovation that was published in 1996 and is now out of print, by Walter Carter. It's available on abebooks and I'm wondering if I should track a used copy down either there or ebay. Any news of a forthcoming reprint that someone here may have heard? | ||

I also still have my original Ovation sales flyer that I picked up in the guitar store in the eighties. It was what started my covetiousness for Ovation Guitars. | ||

I mean no disrespect to anyone's beliefs here, but can someone tell me why Ovations are so popular with Christian music players & choir leaders? Originally posted by colt357: People say the same thing about the bible. ...would like to see it updated though. Myself, religion's all the same at the wholesale level. It only differs at the retail level. So I get mine factory-direct. | ||

Actually, most Christian musicians that are big on the charts now are playing Taylors and McPhersons. The "in-church" players (those of us who aren't superstars) end up playing a lot of Ovations and Adamas, for all the obvious reasons and then some. My old church had four people with O's that I knew of (including Woody and I), and the church I am playing with now is bereft of them, present company excluded. I'm trying to convert a couple Taylor guys right now... I have to say, the 12-string helps! | ||

Joined: September 2004 Posts: 1180 Location: Vermont USA | Tupperware posted When it comes to rollers, nothing quite rolls like a roundback I love it. I might be wrong but I think its because of the plug and play of the Ovation, not a lot of messing around with EQ. Fits any church big or small. Pauly | ||

It appeared to have been opened maybe twice to the first few pages only. Bill signed and dated it 9/96. | ||
