Location: Yucaipa, California | Could someone please post a list that shows the Ovation Model Names and Country of Origin with the different Model/Country equivalent?
something like this:
Celebrity/Korean = Legend/USA
There are too many names for a newcomer like me to keep straight without a list...
thanks

Location: The Great Pacific Northwest | I think Tim is actually looking for a correlation between the USA and Import line. As example, what might the import version of the Elite be called?
I don't think there is a concious model per model reference. THe import line exists to meet the needs of the the players looking for a quality instrument with a lower budget. There are some designs that are similar, but I think that is more a function of coincidence. Lets face it, a Sunburst top with epulets is going to pretty much look the same (at a quick glance) no matter where it's made. |

Location: Yucaipa, California | I'm just trying to develop my Ovation I.D. prowess... I certainly don't want to do the unforgivable and call a Legend a Celebrity! I'd end up in the East River with concrete boots!

Location: Central Oregon | I played what I at first thought was a Celebrity the other day, turned out it was an Applause, said so right on the headstock. (I wish they'd do that with Celebritys.) The Applause was a pretty nice feeling little guitar. It was just a tad plainer than the Celebrity a few hangers down. Didn't plug it in.
