This guitar has been magical, and played with a lot of love. Mostly unplugged, with no amplification, and is so amazingly loud and clear. So, I was wondering, what would be the Ovation 6 string equivalate. I am the Musical Director for a Shakespeare Company and play with out amplification. Currently I play a Martin 6-sting on stage but wondered about how an Ovation 6 would compare. The only 6 strings I would see in guitar shops were shallow bowls so never bothered. So what model 6 sting would anyone suggest? Can be old or new etc. Thanks Jamie Old Man Arthur Posted 2020-09-24 3:39 PM (#552932 - in reply to #552930) Subject: Re: Hello and advice needed - 6 string equivalent to 12-string Elite1758 Joined: September 2006 Posts: 10777 Location: Keepin' It Weird in Portland, OR The 6 string version of a 1758 would be a 1735. Or a 1537. arkhamsouth Posted 2020-09-24 8:29 PM (#552934 - in reply to #552930) Subject: Re: Hello and advice needed - 6 string equivalent to 12-string Elite1758 Joined: September 2020 Posts: 2 So, my Google-fu has failed me. Looks like this is going to be a long term hunt, couldn't find either for sale. I am so curious to hear how it would sound...
