Location: Midland, MI | If there were no Ovation, I'd probably be playing the Tacoma Chief I had set out to buy the day that I bought my O.
OTOH, what I'd like to be playing is that old Guild that suffered a neck separation back when I was a kid. |

Location: Round Rock, TX | A USA Breedlove. I'm still considering dropping by the factory on my way to visit my sister in Alaska next summer and picking one out. |

Location: Upper Left USA | I second the USA Breedlove with a USA Tacoma kicker.
I'd like a McPherson but there isn't an entry level on those. |

Location: Budd Lake, NJ | Probably clarinet in a local, volunteer wind ensemble someplace. (I didn't like the Yamaha classical that I had back then well enough to want to keep playing it. No Gertrude, no guitar playing--a big, black void in my life.)

I'd probably be a wino, playing air-guitar for spare change outside the liquor store.
In other words, no difference. |

Location: Central Florida | The easy answer for me is, if there were no Ovations, I'd be playing my Martins. But, since you said price had to be congruent with Ovation prices, I'd probably be playing a Larrivee 03 or 05 series. |

Location: Boise, Idaho | I don't know if I'd be playing guitar. The only acoustic I had before Ovation was a finger buster. I might have kept my Univox and gone to something affordable with decent sound, like an Alvarez or Sigma. Those are the only other brands I remember considering back in the 70s. If I had one of those, I wouldn't have found the OFC a couple years ago and would not have started playing guitar again.
Is this a sort of "It's a Wonderful Life" thread? |

Location: East Tennessee | I would probably have to say a Martin 000-28VS or a 000-42.
I know I could get 2 Ovations for the price of either one of the Martins. Or maybe a really nice Adamas. |

Location: Hicksville, NY | Martin HD-28. It may not have the V neck and/or slothead, but it's the sweetest sounding non-Ovation that I currently own. |
