Location: Texas | I only have one Ovation, my Artist 1621 sunburst.
When I had a bunch of them (up to around 16) I had them all around the house and studio but I only played this one, so I decided awhile back that that is the model I like to play.
I also have only one Adamas II that is really cool and sounds great, but I don't play it that much.
I had a bunch of Ovation nylon string models but I am not playing nylon string that much anymore.
So my Artist is it.
So, who has only one Ovation? |

Location: Hot Springs, S.D. | Right now I only have my black Legend. I had an old Balladeer that my Dad had given me, but I gave that to my ex when I moved out here. I had a Tornado that my Dad gave me when I was 16, but I sold it 40 years ago. I also used to have a Matrix back in the day, and a couple of Applause. One of them I mad left-handed and gave to my sister. I have a couple of Celebrities on the wall here at the shop. (By the way, I wish people wouldn't "dis" them so much. They are a GREAT starter guitar in that they are so easy to play, sound a lot better than other guitars at that price, and they're pretty.) |

I've had a few, and they were/are nice. I enjoyed them, and the people who have them now like them. And you don't have to worry about the top cracking (too much).
It's kinda like people who used to insult my Yamaha motorcycle (now gone)...
"All you got is a Yamaha?"
"And what kind of motorcycle do you have?"
"A Harley"
"How much did it cost?"
"$22,000!"
"My Yamaha cost $500, runs great, and I can park it anywhere without worrying about it too much." |

Location: Boise, Idaho | I just got off the phone with Al, so I have another one. It's sort of the only one this year, definitely the only one this month (so far), and I haven't bought more than one on the same day for a couple years.
I only have one Koa. |

Location: Boise, Idaho | Learn Maury's parts to all those Jim Croce songs before you come. It shouldn't take you long. Don't bring any guitars, though. I'd just end up playing yours and listening to you shred those electrics if you did.
I'll have some good red wine for you when you get here. Something you can't get anywhere else. |

Location: Boise, Idaho | It'll be in the mail today, so I'll be in the doghouse in a couple days. There's still one 12 fretter and a few 14 fretters left. That was a tough choice.
I tasted some very smooth and unusual reds a couple Saturdays ago. One was at a winery that's for sale. Are you interested, Damon? Riverfront. |

In practical terms, the Matrix sits unused in a closet, so I'd say I'm down to one. |

Location: Boise, Idaho | I had my Matrix as my only Ovation and my only guitar for probably 20 years. I had an Applause 12 string that never got used for about the next 10. Then I found this site and all hell broke loose.
How about a different spin? Is anyone else 100% Ovation? | |
