My second guitar was an early 70s sunburst Ovation Balladeer. The neck was impeccable. I've not played anything that came close to the feel of this neck, until I stumbled on a Collings OM with a 1 11/16th nut width. It too had a great neck, especially for double thumbing the 5th and 6th strings. The problem with the Ovation of course is keeping the body angle where you want it, and preventing it from sliding. The only way I could accomplish that was to employ a strap while seated. I later traded it for an old J-45 and then progressed into my ongoing love affair with old Martins.

OMs are NICE playing instruments, and bone nuts and saddles (and perhaps fossilized ivory bridge pins) should be mandatory, (i.m.h.o.) :-)
