Ovation Country Artist: Comments wanted
gates_o...@mailexcite.com
narrower than standard fingerboard (less than two inches). The Ovation 6773
(Country Artist) looks interesting to me. I'm sure it isn't very loud
acoustically (most Ovations aren't), but does anyone know how it sounds
plugged in?
Please reply to rsca...@wegmans.com
Thank you in advance.

There are mixed opinions about the
Ovation Country Artists. Some folks
hate them, some folks hate them
slightly less.
No, I'm kidding, some folks do like
them. When I saw Loggins and
Messina in concert in 1973, Kenny
Loggins came out and did a mini-set
of a half a dozen songs or so playing
his Ovation Country Artist. It
sounded acceptable, if not great.
The ones I've heard have not
knocked me out, particularly. The
nylon string Chet Atkins solidbody
guitars sound a lot better plugged
in, but if you want to have an
acoustic capability as well I think
Takamine has a few models that
feature the narrower neck with
nylon strings and an acoustic-
electric capability. What's more,
I heard that Tacoma is coming out
with an acoustic-electric nylon
string model based on their radical
Chief model, which ought to be
very cool. I was talking to a guy
who knows George Gruhn who
says Gruhn just got that nylon
string Chief prototype and was
just knocked out about it. The
fellow I talked to didn't know the
width of the fingerboard, though;
I asked. So we'll just have to wait
and see the official publicity stuff
on that.

bought a Taylor 710 and I'm very please with my purchase. This past weekend
my dad and I went out looking for him a Martin D-28 which in my opinion is a
great guitar as well. My dad and I feel that it really doesn't matter what
brand you play as long as you like the guitar that your playing but this
salesman was really knocking Taylor (my guess is because he didn't have the
Taylor dealership in the area) So I guess I'm asking for some feedback on
experiences with either one of these brands.
Thanks, Jody

I have found that some salesmen will do and say whatever they feel
will get them a sale. The best ones are really your advocate, and
will encourage you to buy what's right for you. Taylor makes good
guitars, as you know from playing and owning one. Don't let a
salesman tell you otherwise.

store that I frequented bad mouthed taylors rather extensively, when I told him I
was considering buying one. Now it turns out that they have a taylor dealership
and it seems they are the finest acoustic guitars made. By the way they don't
sell martins.
Salesmen, and /or store owners will tell you anything.

Stirred me up for sure. The only thing is the title should be Martin vs.
Taylor vs. almost all other guitars. When I run into a salesman that bad
mouths products I may be interested in I know I'm not buying from him!! Now
don't get me wrong I'm not talking about fair comparisons or personal taste.
I've had a salesman tell me right out I would not like a certain guitar, but
I would like this one hanging over here. I looked at my wife and said let's
go, it could be catchy.Real guitar dealers believe in their products. but
also know there are many other good products on the market that they don't
carry. These people will deal open and honestly.
Sorry for the rant

both makers. I figure it should be obvious to anybody that both companies
make fine guitars (barring the occasional dud and the random overpriced
celebrity glitz model).
As for thge salesman, always remember; "Never ask the barber if you need a
shave."
BTW sounds like you and your dad are now set up for some fine jammin'. Have
fun.
