Location: Canton (Detroit), MI | As far as "the dark side"....been there, done that!!!! I had a Martin 000-16RGT and a Larrivee gloss flame maple parlor. They were good guitars, but they aren't here now, I didn't play them, my Ovations all play better. It was a detour that I won't repeat.
I do play all-wood guitars that I like, but none of them impress me enough that I would spend money on them. The only ones I can think of that even makes me consider it is the Gibson L-200 Emmylou Harris, the Martin 000-28EC Eric Clapton, and the Blueridge BR-183 (sounds like a 000-28EC for about $2000 less).
I still think a mid-bowl Elite is a definite departure from your other two. NOT a contour-bowl.
ACTUALLY....I think you need a hollow-body or semi-hollow-body electric like an Epiphone Casino or an Epiphone Sheraton. Would work well for some of the songs you and BrianT do. There's a reason that Lennon, McCartney and Harrison all had Casinos.

Location: ms | I had a 92 collectors with a ash top,and it sounded great, Lets not forget the Adamas have carbon tops,Ash is a hardwood and i would think carbon would be thought of as hard. It seems to me that hard tops work well with "plastic backs". I have played only one wood body Koa guitar that i liked, it is a Goodall and i use it often. Most koa guitars just sound thin to me. |

Location: Michigan | Hey Brad next week May 12th-13th Huber & Breese is having their annual anniversery sale . Im sure Paul would love to have some of that 2K your about to pass gas with . Free restring on your guitar on Saturday between 12:00-3:00 complements from Gibson . Good Luck on whatever you buy . I don't pick up my 6 strings much anymore since getting a 12 string . It sounds like there are two more guitars playing along with you . Just an incredible sound . My vote is buy a 12 string . GWB |

Location: south east Michigan | Yeah...Paul has already tried to tempt me with the anniversery sale. I told him I'm not dropping a single dime until I get back from the tour.
It will be a big weekend at Huber. Doyle Dykes will be there pimping Taylors. The traveling Gibson display van will be there. The I got a free string change from the Gibson folk last year. The only representation Ovation will get is if I wear my OFC fan club shirt.
I mentioned this event to Rick Hall at the last tour. I told him if Ovation every wanted to be part of something like that he would have a ton of help and support from the local fan base.
GWB...We gotta hook up some time. |

| Then you can't join the band.
On the other hand if you know the minor seventh of Eb and Bb you can play Take Five and keep evry sax player in the land happy. |

Besides, that's a Canadian chord. |

Brad, you can be excessively happy for me since I won't be there, and then email me some of the good vibes, okay? |

Location: south east Michigan | Well...since playing all the great guitars on the tour, my lust for the 06 koa has somewhat dwindled.
I think the 06 Koa got more into my head than my heart. I still think it's an awesome guitar. I asked Ovation chief engineer Darren this...."Put aside marketing and sales...put aside any prejudice against a koa top. Based only on a design standpoint, are you happy with this guitar?"
He replied, "It's a killer guitar".
.
I went to the tour hoping to find some clarity of thought. I ended up with more questions than answers. |
