Can anyone shed any light on what model of Ovation guitars this Woodstock artist used?

Melanie Safka... the untimate hippie chick of her time.

". . don't go too fast, but I go pretty far . ."

I don't recall ever seeing her playing an Ovation, but I guess it IS possible . . . the "timing" wouldd be right . . .

I just did a Google image search. In 8 pages, no Ovations. But every pic that shows her with a wood box guitar looks like a wide neck model of some sort.

I'd rather that Adamas. THough I must say I was quite enamored with her album covers back in the day. Dad was a fan.

I still have Stevie as my all time fav 70's chick!

Can anyone resize that picture? All I see is a
nose and a microphone.

Nice teeth though!

I always liked her, especially the song Lay Down (Candles in the Rain). I like Alanis Morrisette too ... they're bookends I think.
