ovation acoustic doubleneck

[skorb]

I played an Ovation acoustic doubleneck yesterday at GC, I normally don't like Ovations (tupperware bowls with strings, etc) but this one looked wild and I had never played with a doubleneck before and it was fun to play for a bit.

I was impressed that the thing was in perfect tune (guitars at GC are ALWAYS out of tune, sometimes horribly), and it was set up perfect, the action was super low w/ no buzz. and this one was just sitting out on the floor on a stand, not up on the top row on the wall.

it was a little hard to get used to, playing the 6 neck down low and then the 12 up top, but fun as hell! [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

how was the tone

Re: ovation acoustic doubleneck

it was an acoustic/electric of course, but the tone unplugged was very bright and clean. it rang out, not as much as my acoustic 12 dreadnaught w/ sound hole, but that's a big difference in construction. it was clearly made well and sounded very nice.

What model # was it? I'd be interested in checking one of those out.

Re: ovation acoustic doubleneck

it was this one and they wanted 899 for it. I really liked it, more than I wanted to. LOL

I should have plugged it in but I didn't have much more time to play their guitars at that point.

Re: ovation acoustic doubleneck

My old man picked up an old (70's) usa ovation for cheap not to long ago, so I checked it out and long story short it sits at my bedpost in its case with my slsmg! Unbelievable action, the first acoustic I've played that felt so comfortable. The necks on these are fantastic, so I could only imagine what having two of them would be like!

Re: ovation acoustic doubleneck

yeah I'm not fond of their look or construction but they do play great.
