I like it a lot. It's unusual and not pretentious.

That's not necessarily true. People play in lowered standard tunings because they want less tension on the strings... for bending or perhaps to more easily barre chords.

i have an ovation knock off and i like even though it needs more work done.

very fluid heart filled picking by the player.

@jaknife1102 LOL I have since seen some of the higher end ovations and they don't sound too bad at all. This just happened to be the first time I had heard one and it was not a good introduction to the brand. But as I said some of their instruments that I have heard since are sweet. My ear likes the Paul Reed Smith Hollowbodies but my wallet doesn't.

@1lupus This is one of Ovation's more recent guitars. Also its not a very high end one... probably one of their "celebrity" series. I own a much older version, it has a standard sound hole, but the thing that sets it apart is its molded back. Not only does it have a really nice feel to it, but it has a very strong sound to it. Granted it is a little bit bright for some folk, but i really enjoy it.

You play guitar. The most comfortable keys for guitar, which are incidentally the keys that most music is written in for the instrument, are G and its relative minor, Em.

When you say you "play chords faster", you do not. If you mean you play the simplified mess called a "rock power chord", you're right. Though I hope you don't drop it to D to use the D as a pedal point.

it would be better with less echo

[fleaandstump]

I don't tune down for the singer, I tune to drop D because I can play chords faster and most songs I write are in D.
