Location: Texas | I naively thought that only Ovation made round-back guitars, I just assumed they have patents?
But in recent days I've seen a "Hohner" round back (I thought they just made harmonicas) and now this:
Ovation Type Guitar
Some kind of knock-off? |

Most made in faraway-lands.

Location: Alagoas, Brazil | There are a lot of copies around. In Brazil, we have this one , and this other , for instance.
Gianinni made even a Craviola model based on Ovations, but I think they discontinued the line, because it´s been a long time since I saw one. Nice guitars, by the way. |
