Location: South of most, North of few | I have a confession to make. I started with Ovations, have owned probably every configuration they've made. Then I started flirting with wood boxes and got accustomed to the Martin sound. Bought quite a few wood guitars and sold off all my Ovations.
I just got my 1681 back home a while ago, and I must say, this is one great sounding guitar. I seem to pick it up now more often than any of the others even if it does have a "non manly" neck and slides off my lap.
It's good to be back. :D |

Location: Brighty in Blighty | I kinda know where you're at, though my story is slightly different.
Been through a load of Cs/As but now have the "good stuff", at least for me
Wood boxes offer a different thang to the round backs and that's just it; I have the guitars I have as they do it for me.
I defy anyone to play my 1537 and not want it, wood box purists or otherwise |

Location: South of most, North of few | Just finished the setup and complete cleanup (my wife calls it "Cannonizing") on the Hamer with Ernie Ball super slinky's (.09) and I'm in love. Sorry Jack. This one will be here for a while. ;) :p
I really think playing an electric has gotten me used to a narrower neck, so I like the Adamas even more than before. |

Didn't you say that about the CEO? No rush. I have to pay the taxman so enjoy it for a while. |
