Location: ms | I just put my beloved 000 martin on ebay, and I'm down to my 92 collectors and an old epi, In my effort to sell down while searching for a folklore. But as luck would have it, Richard Guilowitz was doing a breedlove clinic at west mobile music over in AL saturday. After the clinic, I was setting around playing a taylor 410, when Tommy, the owner, handed me a custom order 00028 martin. This thing was a cannon compared to the full sized taylor. Now, I can't stop thinking about the 00028 and also, I'd like to see what ovation has to offer in 2006. Life is rough. |

Location: south east Michigan | but I heard it as permission to buy some Adamases.

For 25 years I thought I could live with only Ovations. I would not even try another guitar. In hidn site that was pretty dumb. I've since opened by horizons and fallen in love with (and bought) some none O's. But in many ways I love my O's more than ever, but now I realize that they are not the one-stop-shopping perfect guitar. Nor is Martin. I'm blessed that I'm able to have both for each of their own particular benefits. Not vanilla and chocolate, more like Rocky Road and Heavenly Hash. Dave Wow, Dave, your story mirrors mine, except add ten years. I played nothing but Ovations and wouldn't even consider playing anything else for over 35 years. But this year I rediscovered the glories of all wood guitars with the purchase of two beautiful Martins. In some ways, I feel like I'm rediscovering the acoustic guitar all over again. Don't hear me wrong, I love my Ovations, but there are tones and nuances that you get from an all wood box that you just can't get from most Ovations. But still, no other acoustic guitar can hold a candle to an O when it comes to visual beauty, durability, low maintenance and acoustic/electric technology. |

Location: Atlanta,Ga. | Jeff, i feel the same way.No matter how many high end wood guitars i own i still have to have a deep bowl adamas in my collection.There is just some connection for me to Adamas guitars,the textured top,the binding,the apelettes.I could never not have one in my collection.Even if i dont play it i need to have it their to look at and admire.Yes acoustically other guitars i own sound "better" but when i reach for my adamas it gives me the sound i expect,need and want.. |

Location: SoCal | I've said before on this board that if I won the lottery, there would be a number of all wood guitars in my collection -- Collins, Olson, Santa Cruz, Larivee, etc.
But for me, Ovations just hit that spot in my soul that feels right. If my collection has to be limited, then O's are what are going to be in it. |
