Joined: December 2001 Posts: 7222 Location: The Great Pacific Northwest | Inspired by all the new energy surrounding Ovation and the desire to start playing again, I decided to setup a music room. It's not complete yet but with so many guitars and so much gear I needed a dedicated spot to setup, play, test to see what gear stays or goes, re-invent my tone, learn tunes, practice, etc...

Joined: May 2015 Posts: 186 Location: Glendora, CA | Nice! I am so envious, back when I lived in Portland my hair was curly and my instruments naturally humidified up on the wall, now in So Cali, with the heater is on and humidity has dropped to 2% - thanks a lot El Niño, all the boys and girls have returned to their humidified cases, and my hair is like straw! Someday when I get my own cave set up I plan to make a humidified cabinet with a glass front so I can see all the toys and still have them at hand. A boy can dream, and in the meantime look on at these caves with awe. Edited by Tennessee 2015-11-28 9:53 AM | ||

Joined: December 2001 Posts: 7222 Location: The Great Pacific Northwest | Thanks everyone. I should have a phase #2 photo in the next couple of days cause my "a.r." tendencies kicked in and there are a few more Ovations to hang. Can't hang "almost" all of them... or "can't have one breadwinner with the other" or "but you have GS-1's and GS-2's" and and and.... Plus I need room for at least two more over the next year, or at least that's the rumor. | ||

Joined: December 2001 Posts: 7222 Location: The Great Pacific Northwest | Yeah I don't know what the deal on the GS3F is. It's not plywood that's for sure. I may upgrade the bridge, but really it's not bad as is. I wish I knew what the deal was cause "Sunburst" was not an option, but this is one of the best "superstrats" that ever was. Frankly, of super-strats, the only one I'd rate higher is the white GS3K on the end. I upgraded the Kahler Flyer to a Kahler Pro. The Dimarzio pickups used on all of these are just fine. The GS1K has an X2N pickup which because it's only one pickup is a pretty good choice I think. It came that way, and I was originally going to "restore" the original pickup, but decided... on a one-pickup shredder.... an X2N is just peachy. | ||

Joined: March 2005 Posts: 12758 Location: Boise, Idaho | I have a GS3F in red. Although the Kahler bridge is better, I keep forgetting that the tuning is done on the bridge instead of the peghead. The Fulcrum bridge works fine, although I have never trusted it to use the whammy bar. It's every bit as good as a Fat Strat. Mine was pretty beat up when I got it, but some heavy polishing and replacing a few screws made it look as well as it played. | ||

I use the bar all the time on guitars that have it. The only reason I would upgrade to a better Fulcrum is not necessarily to stay in tune better, but technology has come a long way and some of the newer fulcrums, although they look rather similar, have a little smoother action. | ||

I have found it yet either, but I think it was in one of the "in between" series specials... However... I have been diligently trying to get a screen shot of Lister's Ovation on Red Dwarf. The early seasons had what I thought was an Ovation, but it appears to be a knock-off. The Headstock has AC or CL on it instead of an Ovation logo. It looks like it could be an Academy too. | ||
