Location: Fort Worth, Texas | I went back to GC today and this time talked to an employee (he was busy selling a guitar/strap/picks/case/music stand to a teacher for his student), they had no VXTs.
While I was waiting to talk to the guy I picked up Taylor T-5 (they had one new one and one used). Plugged it into an amp (can't remember the brand) and played it for a little while.
I wasn't $2500 inpressed.....
The guy told me they sold the two VXTs they had but both came back for repair, something to do with the piezo at the G string.........
He admitted he wasn't a big Ovation fan, thought the VXT was too heavy. He pointed out the used T-5 to me a couple of times. He was up-front telling me he wasn't a fan of the Ovation sound. I think I need to go in there when a VXT is available and set up two amps and then do a comparison.
I told him I'd check back when they have another one in stock and I wanted to compare them side-by-side.
And ,I'd like to see a natural finish also......
