Hi Everyone:

Simply put- I'm looking for the name of an old Glen Campbell Album (hopefully now on CD)that featured Glen playing exclusively 12 String Guitar. Any Idea? As Always-Thanks Anne

Do you know which 12 string guitar(s)by which manufactures he used?

I often saw him playing Ovation, both electric and acoustic, 12's on TV. I'm not sure what he played in the early days.

The "Astounding" acoustic LP predates Karman/Ovation by a few years. A Gibson B25-12N is the usual suspect.

Campbell was Ovation's first commercial endorsement. They made a set of six custom Bluebirds to his specs. I think one got crushed by the airlines. He still owned two of them when he passed. Rare birds.

Here he is with the Gibson. Caption says "...a 20 year old Glen Campbell." (c.1956) but the guitar and the track say 1962ish.
