In Reply to: Musicians are meddling in "OUR" arguments........... posted by Roger Hill on April 13, 2007 at 09:08:31:
>The outcome was the the Ovation roundback....What the guitarists heard simply didn't sound right to them.<While the Ovation projects nicely which makes it a recording engineers dream, they just don't sound as full as an old Martin or Gibson. I would imagine that from a measurement standpoint, Mr Kamen was trying to accomplish both feats i.e have a guitar that projected like the old D'angelico's and had a full sound like the old Martins. The problem (for me, anyway) is that the Ovation compromised both designs. A lot of people swear by them, however. I don't think they are "bad" guitars - I just prefer others. If someone records a lot or plays in a loud venue (rock concert) they cut through the sound like no other. On one notable occasion, I played in an acoustic guitar duo setting and the other guy played an Ovation. It was sort of like some old blues guy with a Fender Stratocaster (say, Hubert Sumlin) jamming with BB King, the latter playing his more full-voiced Gibson ES-355. Different sound, both a matter of taste.
Anyway, cool story. Thanks for sharing it.
