Ovation Guitars Comparison

Hey how can I even buy an ovation guitar online? The website seems to be only browsing not shopping

They sound alright when mic'd but their piezo inputs are Walmart-tier. My $120 Johnson had a better pickup.

It's a shame that Taylor travel acoustics sound as good acoustically as any ovation, including the 70s USA models. Sad.

Strunz & Farah! Wow! I am impressed!

Muito bom!

ok show off...

They sounds hard and crispy and no resonant

Marvelous plastic sound of round back, very pretty

You're a good player but what are you plugging it into?
Your plugged in sound is horrid.
I've been playing Ovations for 30 plus years and I get such a great plugged in sound.

The mic's pick up the room also. I get a mic'd sound from my plugged in setup. What is the anpcthat you ate using, plugged is dark than any I have ever heard. Nice playing.

Glen Campbell put Ovation Guitar's on the map back in the late 60s and early 70s.

Paco and Al DiMeola. Ole!

Wow imagine changing all those strings! Very nice guitar tho.👍

👍👍👍👍😚😚😚😚

Piezo

Flamingo is a gift. You have that gift.

Richie Sambora double neck ovation star!!

👍🤠🎸

what software do you use for the piezo sound

Disadvantages if someone put something inside because the sound holes are small :(

So is your guitar a 6 string or 12 string? Its both at the same time, kind of a quantum instrument!

Good vid. Do ovations use big, jumbo frets,?? Thnx bro

Funny and sad at the same time for ME. In the early seventies I bought my first Ovation (BEFORE they had electronics!) LOVED it, so in 1975 I bought 3 MORE (a 6-string GC Custom, a 12-string GC Custom, and the NYLON 1624 Country Artist). In 1980 I purchased a GORGEOUS Natural Custom Legend. I then had FIVE (5) Ovations that I loved... By 1984 I had FOUR (4) Ovations with SPLIT TOPS, in the SAME PLACE!!! (from the bridge to the bottom of the lower bout, STRAIGHT DOWN THE MIDDLE on 3, STRAIGHT DOWN THE MIDDLE, then turned right towards the treble side and lifted about 3 inches on the CUSTOM LEGEND!) The ONLY one that hasn't split is the NYLON one, which I still play TODAY. Sorry Ovation, ONE would be a "FREAK THING", TWO would be a "COINCIDENCE", but FOUR is way BEYOND acceptable... I had no choice but to take my business ELSEWHERE, and never looked back. Still love my NYLON, and on the 'bright side", believe it or not, the CUSTOM LEGEND with the "lifted top", STILL holds TUNE! LOLOLOLOL... GO FIGURE!

does someone knows the name of the first song played?

great playing - love the Ovation line

I can't stop watching and listening to this.

Al is that you?

The piezo sounds the worst every time.

They are all beaut ful. Do you still have them?

I'm considering buying one of these but can't help to notice the awful amount of fret buzz.
Especially the G and the D string sound buzzy as hell. Maybe its just the loud playstyle?
Great playing anyway thanks for the video

Great video. Does anyone know the difference between a CC44 and a CE44? Thanks

The models with the sound holes sound better. I’m not that keen on their piezo sound

There is no real comparison the piezo sounds way more responsive and alive and more in the mix even tho we’re only hearing acoustic guitar but it would lift a mix with drums bass vocals and even electric … they all sounded better in my opinion in the piezo

Al DiMeola❤

Just what I've been looking for. I just discovered Ovation, and told my brother. He laughed and said I've been missing out. I'm looking to buy first personal six string. As I've been playing Bass for a short time. but I'm itching to play something a lot more melodic. So far, the Ovation seems to tickle my fancy. It also looks like something I'd play at Ren Fairs or the like. lol

I thought Ovations all plug in?

18-string Adamas 🎸 rocks!👍 Guessing this video's generated some buzz with Ovation Fan Club 😉

They play so much towards the "aerospace" history! Yet they sound horrendous plugged in.

please review celebrity by ovation Cc57

I think it has an equalizer module did not see him try to adjust it.

What song is he playing on all of these guitars

Love/hate.
I've had one Ovation Elite since 1993 and a C2078LX (discontinued) since 2008.
I love the rock sold necks and the even response no matter where or how you play.
BUT, I took out most of the bracing on both of them for a Breedlove cantilever style.
Yeh, I realize most people don't reconstruct guitars that sold for around $1200.
The Elite has a Fishman Presys with my own homemade double-flexing contact piezo (weighted open top frame at the disc edges).
The C2078LX has the Op-Pro system which does away with the usual Ovation spit-buzz.
Mine kick most Gibsons and Taylors to the curb acoustically.
I've always though Ovation should only use the multihole design on the most expensive (yes, way over-priced) models and those should only have had the deep bodies.
My feeling is when your cheap stiff looks just like your good stuff, it hurts the brand.

Is it possible to buy a deep bowl ovation these days? I can only find mid bowls...

No denying your talent and skill and it's much appreciated. But, dang you're packing.
