Location: Powder Springs, Ga. | "Play Ovations"? We're supposed to play them? I thought they were just for looks.
Seriously though, it's the only thing I play. |

Location: Madison, Wisconsin | I've played at a Martin 12 string for 35 years and only recently aquired an Ovation 1769. As soon as the kids are out of the house and the cash stops the negative flow, Ill add Ovations to the collection. |

Location: Bristol, UK | Nope, only just returned to the Ovation fold - used to have a Breadwinner a long, long time ago, but traded it for a drumkit.
I play the guitars in my sig*, plus a Yamaha Solid-top acoustic - I've never been much of an acoustic player, I'm not a particularly technically gifted or subtle player.
I haven't got any better over the last fifteen years, but I have got LOUDER.... ;)
*Eclipse is on its way to me now, along with a Silvertone Sears twin-lipstick amp-in-case. |

Location: Carle Place, NY | I had a Guild maple dreadnaught for 26 years, sold it and bought a Taylor 410 dreadnaught, sold that and bought a 1619 Custom Legend. Now I also have a 1537 Elite, a 1862 Custom Balladeer and a 1755 Custom Balladeer 12 string. As far as acoustic guitars, I only play Ovations now. |

Location: SoCal | I've been playing for 35 years (you wouldn't know it from hearing me!) and have, by and large, only played Ovations. They just look, feel, and sound right to me.
But I've played a lot of non Ovations over the years that are very very fine guitars. If I won the lottery...... |

Location: So. Cal. | Pretty much even split between Ovation and Martin, with a couple of traditional classical in between. However, on the rare occasions that I get to gig, it's Ovation/Adamas only territory! |

Location: WV | If it has strings I'll play it. As seen below I have several different guitars that I play as my mood or the song demands. I'm currently looking for a Telecaster or quality clone to add to my herd. I will say that if I had to pick one acoustic to play through an amp it would be the Ovation. |

Location: Vermont USA | A long time ago around 1966 I had an electric Kay guitar, traded that for a Hagstrom one very playable guitar and a Fender princeton amp. I also had an Epiphone SG traded that for some drugs not the brightest light bulb on the Christmas tree after many, many years I sold the Fender guitar and amp and purchased a Yamaha acoustic, and traded that for a Fender DG-22S acoustic. I also owned a Washburn C80S classical, I traded both of those and bought my Elite, no other guitars are needed. I also have a Fender Acoustasonic 30 amp, which I traded a Peavey KB/A amp for.
Wow ! there it is in a nut shell

Location: NW NJ | I play only Ovations acoustically and A/E. A 1778T-5, 6778LX-NEB, 1868LX-5 and an Adamas 1897 SMT in Ruby Red (which I'm gonna sell soon because I like the acoustic sound of the 1868LX better). I use a Mexican Strat for electric although I've been thinking about dumping the Strat and picking up an Ovation electric just to keep things in the family ... |
