I have a 1985 narrow-body cutaway with piezo pickup and three band eq with 9 volt on-board battery. At the time noteworthy. ☮

@@artemisXsidecross If they are good enough for Glen Campbell a Al De Miola -, they are good enough! 👍🎸👌

The electronics including powered 3 band eq were built into the guitar for direct patch out

Who played it? Denny Laine, or the young prodigy (can’t recall his name)?

I have a mental picture of Paul playing yesterday on it. Unless it's a made up memory. That happens sometimes.@@melodymakermark

I hear ya. We were all talking the other day about the Junior’s Farm story with Wings, so the band had been on my mind.

They made them with round backs up into the 2000's as Ovation was trying to keep pushing that technology or was re-pushing the technology only they were attempted to be more comfortable by having better cutaways.

My brother has a Takamine Guitar but the non-electric version from about 2000--2001 he got from a friend who got a better guitar. It was one of the earlier versions of the Indonesia Acoustic Guitars that actually sounded good and was not a POS like most others that were not electric. He since got a Taylor hollow body TZ5 that is a custom run in 2010's around 2916 or 2017 about then that can do more including the acoustic electric sound, straight acoustic is a fat no due to how thin those guitars are.

Wildwood Flower. Old Carter Family tune.

Not ‘Sikorsky Helicopters; the founder of Ovation Guitars, Bill Kamen, had left Sikorsky a long time before to found his own Aeronautical company. Being an accomplished guitarist himself, and having been displeased about ongoing repairs to his Martin guitar - and especially the response he received to his suggestion’s to improve on some of their ‘approaches’ … so, he decided to found his own guitar-making company. The Adamas guitar became the epitome of Ovation’s innovation excellence .

@@donaldcook3112 my father was the first person to put routers on CNC XYZ machines in the early 80’s late 70’s and tried and tried to sell to the aerospace industry and had no luck but in the meantime he sold a machine to Bill Kaman to make pianos for his company called Courier Pianos which used small strings wound super tight on a sandwiched frame of aluminum with wood in the middle and he could get Steinway tones out of a $1000 piano and he made them in Lenoir NC but it turns out he couldn’t get schools and others to get/buy cheap pianos made with particle board regardless of the superior sound quality so his company went out of business and he told my father he didn’t need or want his CNC router and my father had an excellent contract for the sale of the machine and Bill Kaman could not get out of paying so my father told him that he didn’t care what he with the machine my father would install it in the parking lot if the customer wanted but he just needed his money and was a lot of money cause 250 thousand was a shitload of money in the early 80’s and Bill Kaman said “ screw it I’ll just put it in the Sikorsky plant and he did and my father was finally selling to the aerospace industry and sold 7 machines the next week because all the other companies wanted their own when they found out Sikorsky had one the machine was a Campbell XYZ ROUTER and he sold a 5 axis one to Boeing for 2.7 million and he ended up selling his company to a company called Timesavers but for awhile my father had the best CNC router you could by and he won two separate Challenger awards
