Vic No Problem. Not much harder than a 6 string. Although my intricate fingerpicking is probably rather elementary. |

Cool.
Welcome.
My choice, my balladeer.
But it's like asking who I'd like to have as a wife. This is not a choice I get to make. That part of history is written. |

Location: SoCal | I don't really think I could answer this question as there are so many new Ovations that I haven't played yet. And even of my guitars, I could be happy with any of them as just my sole guitar. I'm a very fortunate person... |

Ah,..I`m getting a little confused,does that mean that you will string it with six strings and play it through the AC 60 in Chorus mode...now that would be a Sound idea... :)

Location: Phoenix AZ | U681-12 string. This guitar is the whole package. If you get tired of 12 strings, take half of them off and you've got a standard 6 string U681 with 1-7/8 neck.

Location: Round Rock, TX | Started thinking about this question. Looked at my O's thinking "which one, which one?" Got all stressed out. Now I'm hiding in my fortress of 9158 cases and starting at sudden noises. What I wanna know is who's gonna pay for this thorazine, huh, HUH!?! |

Location: PDX | First, i haven't played them all. I've coveted guitars only to find once i owned them they just didn't do it for me. My 1537, and 1581 come to mind.
Second, i'm really fickle it seems. I was really enamored with my 1547, but now, it's kind of, blah, take it or leave it.
Of the 15 guitars i own now, ten of which are Ovations, if i had to pick one -- it would be my Suhr Telecaster -- no question.

If you could own only 1 ovation which one would you choose?
