| I was at a thrift store the other day and picked up an acoustic guitar for 25 bucks.
It feels really well made, and sounds great. yet, its make and model confuses me.
It has a wood top and black (fiberglass?) back thats rounded
on the inside of the guitar it has a sticker that says
"SPS Design" "Kaman Music corporation" "model SP-10" "made in Mexico"
I know that Kaman makes nice guitars under the brands "Takamine" and "Ovation". but, i cannot find any information anywhere about this particular guitar.
though, i found some guy on some other forum who posted a thread about this same guitar, and he thought it might be an fake ovation. In that thread though nobody replied to him and he was left in the dark.
I would really appreciate any information anybody might know regarding this guitar or something like it.
thank you for your time, peace :) |

There was one listed on d'Bay a while back.
Maybe someone more knowledgeable will come along with more details.
But Kaman has made other roundbacks... Ocean Acoustic comes to mind.
But for $25?! :eek: How does it sound? (that is all that matters) |

I had a Carlos acoustic recently, made in Korea, late 90's, that looked similar. It was, apparently, an amalgum of Takamine Jasmine neck & a deep-bowl Ovation body. And, made in the Ovation off-shore factory (according to an informed source). Played OK, too.
As the old saying goes, "It's easy to make a guitar; it's hard to make a good guitar."
Nice find. Play it!!
Perhaps, "the informed source" will weigh-in on this critter, also. |
