Does anyone have experience with Hiscox (of Hiscox cases renown)guitars? These had an attractive striped (rosewood and maple?)wooden shallow bowl back rather than the plastic of an Ovation. I remember playing one at a musical instrument fair in Birmingham back in about 1981/2 and being quite impressed by the sound (although I bought a Manson in preference at the same fair). I always wondered why, apart from the obvious extra time in manufacturing, this shallow wooden bowl back design didn't take of in a bigger way for guitars.
