Ovation Legend eats Larrivee for lunch...

[lestrouble]

it could be just the player touch but I am sure Larrivee is way must better in terms of sound and tone comparing with Ovation......this day hardly hear people buy Ovation type of guitar, they mostly use on a Helicopter....heeheee no offence!

[Steve]

I hear if you bust out the top they are great to hold ice and beer on a camping trip.

[roknroll]

Come on guys, these are handmade plastic bowls were talking about...So they are a step up from rubbermaid, big deal.I wonder what an ovation would sound like if you drilled a hole in the the bottom of the bowl??  Just don't forget to seran wrap each hole nice and tight, so that turkey sandwich doesn't spoil!

[stuco]

maybe that pinch sound is the sound of ACTUAL WOOD! i F YOU LIKE PLASTIC THEN THATS COOL TOO

[Darrell111]

ITS HERE EVERYONE!! MY NEW "TRAGOCASTER ACOUSTIC"!!!! Plays like a dream!!! If i were to compare it to another guitar.. well in my opinion the GREATEST guitar ever.. Ovation

sweet axe, it could use some refinement though. That primative wood used for the tuning knobs and truss rod cover should be replaced with plastic.

[HangFire]

Troll alert!

However some people like the sound of plastic over Blackwood or Braz Rosewood. :rolleyes:

:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: I always get the rolling eyes when I bring up Ovations.  :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

:rolleyes: :rolleyes: THEN DON'T :rolleyes: :rolleyes:


:huh:

Proving once again that most people listen with their eyes and not their ears!

Is it that hard to accept the simple fact that a $300 ovation sounds BETTER than a $$$ Larrivee (martin, taylor, etc, etc)? Apparently it is...for certain people!

Next time you visit your local music store, try an ovation. And please try to listen with your ears. You don't have to spend thousands of $$$ to get a decent instrument.

In the spirit of keeping an open mind, there are performers out there that have made some serious music (and money!) playing "a plastic bowl":

Preston Reid, Kaki King, Glenn Campbell, Melissa Ethridge (serious rythym guitar work on "The Way You Do"), Al DiMeola...

Is it hard to except that a hard to except that a Larrivee sounds better than a $300 Ovation? Apparently it is...for certain people(1)! Next time you visit your local music store, try a Larrivee. And please try to listen with your ears. You don't have to spend thousands of $$$ to get a awesome instrument.
Proving once again that some people think they can restate their position with out any additional proof, and think it means something.

[Roman]

Esteban swears his "guitars" sound and play as well as his $$$$$ Martin.  So it stands to reason that the Ovation has to sound better than any solid wood guitar.

This is fun!  Such obvious BS from this troll . . . .

[Gemnoc]

Come on guys... Just let this topic die already. You take yourselves and your guitars too seriously. Except unclrob. That one should be in the top 10 quotes. ^_^

Everybody is entitled to their opinion. Even when they're wrong. :WNK>

Since I didn't know, and had to Google it (forum troll), I thought I'd post this:

(from http://curezone.com/forums/troll.asp)

An "Internet troll" or "Forum Troll" is a person who posts outrageous message to bait people to answer. Forum Troll delights in sowing discord on the forums.  A troll is someone who inspires flaming rhetoric, someone who is purposely provoking and pulling people into flaming discussion.  Flaming discussions usually end with name calling and a flame war.

[Ratishna]

OP has two posts, both to this thread.  A contributing community member?

OK, let's see you wood-huggin' Larri-lovers recycle your 00-50 into a helicopter blade!
Just TRY...!
can't be done, I tell ya.
It just can't be done.
Case closed.

bingo!  the OP has to be getting lots of laughs here.

either:

a) he really loves his Ovation (they are nice guitars, earlier in my life I would have loved to have had one, good enough for Al DiMeola is good enough for most of us)

or b) he is just trying to get you guys who take your devotion to Larrivee way too seriously worked up.  if this is the case, he must be ecstatic with the results.  he even got one of you to waste time doing photoshop  :rolleyes:  if you think he is a troll then don't respond like a bunch of bluegills that take the same bait over & over again...

[Cowgirlie]

Yeah, now all you billy goats quit going over the bridge and aggravating the troll.

"Proving once again that most people listen with their eyes and not their ears!"

Hmm, he likes ovations AND he thinks human beings listen with their eyes...Yeah he's credible!  Where is the science to prove that most people aren't listening through their ears :huh: :huh:

 Mines bigger than yours. I'm right and I know it. My opinion is fact. Listen with my ears. Then you will know what I know. I love my______________    Blah, blah, blah...
