Location: seattle | without a doubt, the simple elegance and perfectly thought out and executed design elements make the 2007 collectors the best looking Ovation ever, and perhaps the best looking guitar of any brand. |

As probably one of the newest owners of a 2007 Collectors I am getting sore muscles in my face from smiling so much and my fingertips are numb. Absolutley stunning colour and style....
Watto I am sorry you missed getting to play the new toy but maybe someday. |

Location: Phoenix AZ | I picked the other one but there is no accounting for bad taste. The 2007 is a good looking guitar except for the cadaver skin epaulet.
Once the early birds wake up there will be plenty of opinions on "best looking". I predict heavy betting on adamas slotheads, custom legends and old shiny bowls. I am a little partial to this:

Location: Brighty in Blighty | I'm not a huge fan of the round hole Ovations, the only one I'm willing to forgive is the 97C.
I think the 06C (KOA with flame maple) looks pretty damn fine as does the 5858 (angel stepped walnut) and of course the 03C (Spruce with Koa)!

I'm still enamoured with this one I'm holding for David until his kids grow up and buy it back for him...

Most any Sunburst will look cool. |

I'm kind of partial to this one, but you can't go wrong with any of them. |

Location: SoCal | I love the look of my 87C, but I'm with Toby and Wayne. The classic look of the original GCDB/GC Artist/Legend still just looks RIGHT to me.
Give me another 6-7 weeks and I'll show you how right..... |

I'm sorry, naturals don't do anything for me unless she's a natual blonde without any silicone enhancements.
I'm on a red kick right now, ovation does red right !

Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains | As to this beholder, (1) is the Book Elite, (2) is the LAV Custom Koa, and (3) is Ultra flame maple EA Viper. Those walnut toppers would be on this list if I could see one close up, and Toby's triburst might be the prettiest burst I've ever seen. The good news . . . there's a lot of winners here. |

Location: Earth·SolarSystem·LocalInterstellarCloud·Local Bub | I think both the Folklore Deluxe AND the 6774LX are great looking guitars. The FD being more subtle and understated and the LX more sexy.
Dave's custom Legend is jaw-dropping....
but...
for me...
