Joined: September 2005 Posts: 3618 Location: GATLINBURG TENNESSEE :) | That IS a good one Arthur! I'm curious to see if it stays that low. I DO Prefer the Custom Legend though. The way I look at it, if you're going Legend you may as well go Custom also. Bling Bling Bling! Daniel, if you are going to be playing strictly plugged in the SS would probably do the trick for you. I havent seen many CUSTOM Legends in anything but deep and medium bowls.(that Legend Arthur mentioned is a SS bowl with cutaway and sounds right up your alley) If you decided to go with a Custom Legend and you play electric guitar primarily, you would probably prefer the cutaway version. A used Custom Legend will usually run you between $600-750. Sometimes you can snag them cheaper if you are willing to put up with a couple finish cracks. Sometimes they'll be a bit more if you can get the AD version. I haven't even checked on the price for a new one. | ||

I thought I saw somewhere here where a member told TJ he might be selling his???? Mine is here to stay!! Good luck | ||

A SSB would be easier to play standing up, but won't have the unplugged volume or tonal range of a deep bowl. The one OMA linked to is a good one.I plan on playing my Ovation plug in all the time | ||

But when I started watching that it was around $20. When I put it up there it was under $200. I didn't expect you ALL to jump on it! :rolleyes: | ||

The latter is technically a Balladder but essentially the same as a modern Legend. The LX models have the OP-Pro pre-amp w/tuner. IMHO the OP-Pro is much better than the older OP-24. | ||

Joined: September 2005 Posts: 3618 Location: GATLINBURG TENNESSEE :) | I think if I were looking for another guitar I'd jump on that 07 Collectors that was just posted on the for sale board. Those are some awesome guitars, and I think they will prove to be one of the best wood tops made in a long time, and that one is going for the same price you would pay for a CL. Get 'em while you still can. | ||

I go in and out of playing four of them on a regular basis, as well as some some other thin profile hybrids and a few not so thin woodies. The SSBs are the most comfortable of the lot IMO. For strings, I played super lights for years, but have since switched back to standard lights for a bit more tone (.12-.53). | ||
