Guitarists...

[unclej]

thanks man...i was just yankin' your chain...there is something about a classic strat, telle or gibson that just feels and looks good but i try not to copy too much...there's a whole web world full of guys makin' strat copies with flame maple....argh...

I have an Ovation Applause that I can't play.

Their acoustics sound beautiful, in my opinion.

No problemo...

The wood grain is eye-catching. Just has kind of a classic rock look to it that makes me think of Freedom Rock or something. Not that there's anything wrong...oh, nevermind.

I've seen some airbrushed (don't laugh) guitars that were cool looking. I do find the classic, vintage look more appealing, but I've seen some with Vargas style girls or details of classic paintings that were really striking.

Ah, very nice. Eventually I hope to upgrade my acoustic to something in the $500 range. No hurry, the Strat will keep me learning, but nothing sounds like a good acoustic.

I haven't read this whole thread, so I'm sure you know this...but, due to my overwhelming track record of dating guitarists...Ovation has a hollow body, plug in that sounds like a dream.

i've only got one problem with the ovations...when their round back meets my round belly....well, you can picture the rest....

Whaddya trying to do, make this a sexual thread to me?

I think Ovation may have had a woman in mind when designing...where the round back indents fits nicely against my waist.

 

[unclej]

no, no, not at all....it's just that when i play an ovation i need something to stop it from sliding off my lap....nothing sexual about that....hee, hee...

I can't judge the function or accoustics online, & I 'm not qualified to do it in person, for that matter.


Your concepts are brilliant & your woodwork is exquisite. They're works of art if the only ever hang on the wall.

 

[unclej]

well, thank you patient 1...for once i don't have a smart assed comment...i appreciate the compliment...i sculpted wood and made custom funiture/cabinets before learning to make guitars and i do try to approach them as art...thanks again...i'm humbled..

I have two.

A 91 Les Paul Custom (white)

and

a '69 Toyota steel string. (Yep, Toyota tried to compete with Yamaha in the guitar biz at one time. This one has aged well. Needs to be re-fretted though.)

I use the Les Paul to break out walls when not playing it.
