Sorry Ron....The only Ovation fans around here know to keep quiet like me. I don't think they've built a decent guitar since about '83 or '84.

You'll get lots of ideas here and by reading past threads you'll get even more. Some will suggest their favorite acoustic with a favorite pickup....Other may suggest perhaps Takemine, which has some fine on-boards already, but weighs too much or whatever.

The key here is to play some new ones (or old ones) and find something you like, Then there are alwyas some great options for pickups. If you're looking for factory install, takemine is hard to beat. We'll put som other threads for you to refer back to on this thread....Good Luck....and enjoy searching......and take anything you see here with a grain of salt. What you "hear" and feel is the real thing.
