Location: SoCal | Well, nookie and guitar playing are right up there in the list of my favorite things. But diapers invariably follow the nookie which puts a crimp in both activities. |

Well with all those nice guitars up he should be able to at least buy a TV for the bedroom. |

Location: Brentwood, TN | Hey fellow Ovationites,
You have got us laughing pretty hard at the thread going on here. Babies win, 10 out of 10 times. Got the TV, didn't help. You all are pretty good at finding things out, though! We're flattered.
I'm with Lee Greenwood these days, plus a couple of months with Kenny Chesney last year. If you caught us on Conan in 2003 that was my red Ovation Viper wideneck. My favorite TV guitar. Used my Hamer Monaco Superpro with him too. Awesome axe. Still favor that one over any humbucking setup I have. Lee is a great artist and we are cowriting for some upcoming recording.
As for Glen, I stopped touring with him in 2002 when he decided to downsize the band. I was getting deeper and deeper into the writing and producing thing here, so that made sense for us both. I am still in a co-pub relationship with Glen Campbell Music. We have some songs out there on TV as well as in the mix here in Nashville. |

Just kidding about Ken. |

Location: Brentwood, TN | Glen had two bluebird 12-strings and a six that I remember seeing. I don't know how many were actually made. There were stories of a pair of 6-and 12-s each. His favorite old Bluebird 12 used to be on the road with us through the early 90s until an airline accident crushed the headstock. I went to Hamer (naturally) and asked them to copy the neck profile and helped design the one-of-a-kind Hamer 12 string electric you see in so many of his promos. He liked to have it toaster-simple so I asked for just a single volume pot and a toggle switch. (In true Glen fashion, he had someone tap a new location for the controls to keep them out of his picking hand's way. You will see a silver plug in the old spot). It also has Duncan mini-buckers and a top-loading Ovation bridge Bill Kaman and Frank Untermeyer were good enough to dig out of some forgotten box. That way there's no back plate or cavity cover to snag Glen's head when he hoists it up there. The neck is an exact copy of the Bluebird's shape with mini-Schallers. We also copied the B-bird's body shape and sent a template for use in cutting the Hamer body.
I think there are some dusty Bluebird parts lying around somebody's house still today. There was a backup 12 string for sure. None that I remember in working shape.... |
