Dear Paul, I realize you and I are from different planets, but when I go into a retaurant and the menu says "hamburger", to me that means "hamburger". Not chicken-burger, not veggie-burger. It's a hamburger. I vaguely recall that the question posed in this thread said "Ovation". It didn't say Celebrity or Adamas or Ocean Acoustics or Applause. It said O-V-A-T-I-O-N.
I stand by my choice. The 1627RI is one of the damn nicest Ovations to come along in a long, long time. To me it sounds better than any CL30, 1537, etc. I'd rate it above the FD14 because it's got better electronics and is more versatile. Soundwise the 1627RI is stunning. In recent days, maybe the Koala is nudging it's way onto the upper rung but still too early to say.
The people that responded to this thread and mentioned their Adamas guitars, well they are of course all wonderful guitars. But obviously they didn't read the question very well did they? Bill gets an exemption because his 2080D actually says "Ovation" on the headstock.
If you want to open this up to guitars that don't say "Ovation" on the headstock, then I'd ditch them all and say TAKAMINE EF-75.
Now Paul, go pour yourself another cup of coffee, give me 20 pushups and apologize for questioning my decisions. DO IT!

An ovation may not be an Adamas but My Adamas does say it's an ovation. Just as all cats may not be lions, but all lions are cats.
As for the Leo Kottke, he was merely an example of a person who fingerpicks a 12 string. |

Location: Phoenix AZ | I can't answer these kinds of questions because I'm so spoiled, blessed, lucky, selfish, etc. that I don't really know what it's like to make choices. I'm the anti-Sophie.
Choice is sub-contiously influenced by how much a guitar cost me, and how rare or collectable it is. Hard to dis-associate from that.
OK, roll the dice. Comes up .... FD14. |

Location: big island | if it HAS TO say "ovation" on the headstock, then my initial answer does not qualify. i've only owned one guitar that qualifies and it is en route to thailand via riverside. that was a 1537-4. if i could own only one ovation, i would choose croce's actual guitar.

read the comment posted by Criscroce towards the bottom of the youtube page. he mentions he traveled to visit maury's family in new jersey and got to play the only guitar of maury's that survived the plane crash, the same ovation maury plays in this video. i had heard that croce's ovation survived the crash too but had not heard about maury's before this. |

If all Zips are Zoodles, and all Zoodles are Zonkers, then all Zips are definitely Zonkers.
The above sentence is logically: A.) True B.) False C.) Neither |

A) Ovation FD14 Folklore Deluxe
B) Ovation FD14 Folklore Deluxe
C) Ovation FD14 Folklore Deluxe
(for those who don't know, this was a limited edition of 50 instruments made in 2003....cedar top, deep bowl)
Wish it had had a nicer rosette and a gloss top....I might have been able to talk SWMBO into it when it was available!!!! It just didn't look "worth the money" when I played it for her at Elderly in 2003, despite how great it sounded.
So....I'll have to settle for:
D) 2002 Collectors
....since I have one.

I think, to get kicked out, you have to set up a sales booth in the FOR SALE forum. But you get 77 warnings first. I think.
I think?
I think I think.
Therefore, I think I am!

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