Well Louie Shelton, studio musician guitarist extraordinaire, and hit producer (almost ALL of Seals & Crofts) didn't have any problem recording with HIS Ovation, nor did the engineers getting a sound from a guitar that "sounds pretty good... for an Ovation." Les P.S. Now, which one would this be? (taken about '72-'73). | ||
