I have a Ballader, cedar top, it’s a GC exclusive. It’s been a good guitar...I’m happy with it. I stopped playing for about six years and have recently been playing again. I just learned Ovation was sold...I was wondering why I nervier see them in the stores. I know another company took over, and here’s my question/concern... How are the Ovations these days since the sale? I did see a Glen Campbell cutaway, the newest one I guess, a tobacco burst, and it sounded and played fine, but it seemed cheaper. Am I’m just imagining this because it’s not an original Ovation. BTW, is that cut away Glen Campbell an American model...I always hated the Celebrity Models. I’m thinking about buying a new Ovatiion but since I never see them, I have no idea if they’re any good still?

Only a few people can respond in the Welcome Center. So I have upgraded you so that you can post elsewhere in the FanClub. Personally... I buy Used USA Ovations made before 2014. alpep Posted 2019-08-22 2:02 PM (#549670 - in reply to #549658) Subject: Re: How are Ovations These days?
