Big center soundhole (Legend style), or multi-holes (Elite style)? Why?

Depends on the song. Some sound better on one, some on the other. Come to think of it, I know thousands of songs. Maybe I need a different guitar for each. I'm sure there is someone here (TJ) who could help me in this quest.

Put me down on the Multi-Hole list, But...

(First time I said But this year) I also prefer the Offset Single Hole on the KoaLaVA and the Tacoma Wing series, McPherson Side Hole, etc.

Depends on what sounds right whenever I pick up a guitar. I've got both and both at various times sound right.

Don't care for the koa oval hole....

Me too:


I have a strange relationship with this guitar. The direction my playing has been going for the last year or so causes me to leave it in the case most of the time. And then I get the idea of selling it.

But I just can't do it. Its the most beautiful guitar I've ever seen or had. Just can't let her go.

I guess that I gotta go with the Multi-holes!
Since I only own one center-hole guitar.

I would say Multihole. The multihole Eppies is one of the physical traits that distinguish Ovation from other guitars.

My favorites are the inlaid round and single epis. Treb and bass inlaid epis are next. The offset oval and swoosh haven't really grown on me yet. Although the gits they're on are sweet.

I also prefer the subtle patterned epis. There's sumpin' about the high contrast colors that just look out of place, i.e. red with white.

Offhand, I can think of three models that really catch my eye; 1680, 1998 Collector and the new Limited 2010 Elite . I know there are others that escape my mind this AM.

BTW-- There was a poll about this last January...

The results were about even.

If you haven't voted, here is your chance! :eek:
