| Hi All,
I'm Erik and I've had an account here for a long time, but never took the initiative to post before. I'm a member of the Ovation Collector's page on facebook, but I've found it's hard to use that resource for information and realized I should be here instead. If you're curious about my Ovation family, I have a '79 Balladeer that I acquired used (which I believe needs a neck reset...) and a refurbed 2778ax which I like quite a bit. I play in a folk duo and use my Elite for recording and live performances (along with a small menageries of acoustics).
I did have a question that I hoped you could all help me with. I've been creeping on the new import models that Ovation is releasing in 2016 and saw some lovely 2078s with a exotic veneers on the AAA spruce top. Do any of you have experience or knowledge regarding this top technique? I'm curious if a solid top of that grade is hindered by a veneer. I rather like the idea and want to support Ovatoin, but I don't want to buy expensive and dull-sounding plywood when I could probably get a non-veneer 2078 for the same or less. Link below for your examination.

Looking forward to getting to know everyone and talking Ovation!
