Just what I've been looking for. I just discovered Ovation, and told my brother. He laughed and said I've been missing out. I'm looking to buy first personal six string. As I've been playing Bass for a short time. but I'm itching to play something a lot more melodic. So far, the Ovation seems to tickle my fancy. It also looks like something I'd play at Ren Fairs or the like. lol
There is no real comparison the piezo sounds way more responsive and alive and more in the mix even tho we’re only hearing acoustic guitar but it would lift a mix with drums bass vocals and even electric … they all sounded better in my opinion in the piezo
I'm considering buying one of these but can't help to notice the awful amount of fret buzz. Especially the G and the D string sound buzzy as hell. Maybe its just the loud playstyle? Great playing anyway thanks for the video
AKG D7 definitely wins. I used shure beta 58 and beta 87, are not bad, but the time for these mics is over. Even D5 is so much-much more better, I am so fascinated. But D7 is even better :)
I recently acquired a CSE 24 ovation with steel strings. I don't know what year it was manufactured (do you know how I can identify it?) . Its preamp is the op30. Does the fuse have this shape for some reason?
Funny and sad at the same time for ME. In the early seventies I bought my first Ovation (BEFORE they had electronics!) LOVED it, so in 1975 I bought 3 MORE (a 6-string GC Custom, a 12-string GC Custom, and the NYLON 1624 Country Artist). In 1980 I purchased a GORGEOUS Natural Custom Legend. I then had FIVE (5) Ovations that I loved... By 1984 I had FOUR (4) Ovations with SPLIT TOPS, in the SAME PLACE!!! (from the bridge to the bottom of the lower bout, STRAIGHT DOWN THE MIDDLE on 3, STRAIGHT DOWN THE MIDDLE, then turned right towards the treble side and lifted about 3 inches on the CUSTOM LEGEND!) The ONLY one that hasn't split is the NYLON one, which I still play TODAY. Sorry Ovation, ONE would be a "FREAK THING", TWO would be a "COINCIDENCE", but FOUR is way BEYOND acceptable... I had no choice but to take my business ELSEWHERE, and never looked back. Still love my NYLON, and on the 'bright side", believe it or not, the CUSTOM LEGEND with the "lifted top", STILL holds TUNE! LOLOLOLOL... GO FIGURE!
@@bobo8741 Not specifically, but ALWAYS kept in cases, lived from NY to FL and I have 21 other guitars of different brands (both electric and acoustic) and never have had a issue of ANY kind. Some OLDER, some NEWER, but no issues at ALL... Weird... Thanks, ;)
I have a 1995 Elite Standard, i bought it back in 1995. It still sounds incredible, but i think it got the same problem. The top around the bridge cracks, also the bottom grape sound hole is lifted. I live in Indonesia where the humidity is high (60%-70% all of the year) so I put the silica gell/dehumidifier inside the case when I don't use the guitar. I have another 2 Taylor guitars no problem at all.
Yesterday I bought D7. I HAD Shure beta 58, and I am so fascinated with D7 that I cant describe...D7 is so amazing, so much better than Shure! So much warmer but clearlier, crisp and powerful!!!
You can use a strap even when sitting. I don't think they are designed to be played in the classical style or even seated so much as they are designed to be played standing with a strap. But they sound good either way.
Well done!! By they way, that's Rio Ancho (Paco) on the front of that. People always attribute to Al because of the live album, but that is Paco's BEAUTIFUL hook on the front :-)
