Guitar Gear Forum

I had a Viper for a while. It was pretty nice actually. Like a Tele almost. bright as fuck.

Anyway, I can't believe how much these have gone up in price!!!!!!!!

I always wanted one of the UKII's, I think it was called.

I know a lot of people rag on Ovation acoustics but I have an odd one that I love; it's the guitar that's been in my stable the longest.

Yeah, I've always wanted the UKII as well....with inlays.

The necks aren't very wide and my hands are huge............that's why I didn't keep the viper.

I have an acoustic-electric Ovation that I will never sell, but that's because I'd feel bad for the buyer. It's terrible and I want to smash it.

I don't know about their electrics though, but they would have to be REALLY AWESOME to convince me to ever buy another Ovation product.

I really loved their Magnum basses. Had a IV that was tits and a half. Still wanna track down another one in the future. Like a P-bass, EB-O and Ric, all in one.

Word.

That is on my gear wish list too. They've gone way up in value too.

The Is and IIs have steadily sold for about $7-850 over the years, but the IIIs and IVs have really gone up. I think if I wanted back the IV I sold to this cat, I'd pay maybe three times what I sold it to him for?

Got the damn thing for $50 with OHSC, no less. Shoulda kept that one.

I saw one of their kahler equipped basses this morning on my local cl.


Looks pretty retarded

The ones that Josh Homme plays look pretty sweet. I never remember their name though. I did play some kinda ovation electric once. Thing was was strange.

Ovation Ultras are rare and SUPER expensive. Thanks josh.

The other guitarist in my college band played an Ovation electric, but I have no idea what model. He was a complete metal head and shredded like crazy on that thing, with .11 or .12 gauge strings in standard, to boot. I dunno what that says about the guitar, if anything, but I'm lonely and wanted to contribute to the thread... Er.

Ovation Ultra GP. He modded all his to be string-thru though... Eastwood actually makes a great replica for a LOT cheaper

$749.00 It just doesnt have the trademark Ovation headstock.

Everything on my Soundcloud page was recorded with an Ovation electric (Ultra GS). That includes the most recent drum jam I posted in Killzone's thread.

guy I know had one. It was super light.....didn't really impress me much.

Never played a real ovation ultra though.

Roy Clark used to play this really odd shaped Ovation called a Deacon if memory serves ... really bizarre looking

I had a Breadwinner once. Piece of crap. It had these weird active pickups that you couldn't swap out for anything else. The bridge was build like a shock absorber. Worst design ever. Impossible to mod. I believe the only celebrity endorsement was the Partridge Family.

I played a Preacher a few times... before i knew jack shit about guitars or tone. Couldn't give you a straight review.

Dat headstock!

I have that Eastwood and saying that it's light means that there's variance with them. Mine is ~12lbs.

Do you like it?

Oh yeah. It's the guitar that is last on the list to sell. I prefer hardtail bridges and it is the exception. It resonates well. The pickups have the same spacing and sound like a 59 set.

With the weight mentioned earlier it may suffer from the LP syndrome of having to find the right one. With a guitar that isn't common it probably isn't worth the effort of hunting one down. Either that or he only plays Heritages and old Gibsons.
