This is actually a replica of the guitar to Ovation Custom Shop, built at the request of Richie Sambora (they even asked a model triple-neck mandolin The third was a-!)
For my part, I managed to import one of the two models for the French market (and this was not an easy task ....)
The handle is a handle from the top twelve string Comfortable ... (we must say that I have large hands
the bottom one is a six-string type ovation ied quite fine for a quick game at the Al Di Meola .
The guitar is equipped with a switch to an alternative operation or simultaneous
The OP24 preamp is one that will rework the sound when plugged.
The finish is exemplary (varnish, joining sleeves and last but not least trimmings)
The price is ... at the height of its features ...
Given the specifications, I noticed 9 / 10.
UTILIZATION
Immediately put things flat: This guitar needs to be played standing:
- A muscular back
- A comfortable strap
However, the scenic effect is interesting and the opportunity to spend a twelve-string to a six-string in 1 second is very convenient ....
Sitting, it remains playable.
Feature: when you play, the audience does not look more than that
SOUNDS
Ovation, you either love or hate ...
I hate to Acoustics (must say that I play on a beautiful Taylor 612C ( https://fr.audiofanzine.com/produits/avis/index%2Cidproduit%2C45435.html ) then ... no comparison ...
Returning to the Ovation Double Neck ...
In electro, the sound is right, is balanced and powerful sound projection ...
If the sound "unplugged is limited cardboard ... However, plugged into my AER Alpha, it's monstrous ...
The instrument comes into its own, providing a medium that goes well above the other instruments without any problems ... and knows how to warm hear rhythm as a solo ...
There, the Ovation is in his element ... What preamp ....
In electrical group configuration (drums, bass, second guitar, keyboards and vocals), it will fit without any problems ... and without feedback ...
Warning: The rating applies only to the sound electro sound
OVERALL OPINION
This guitar, this is almost ten years that I expected.
In conclusion, I do make more (emotional attachment and as a dream come true for teen ... rather than because of its acoustic qualities
And on stage, so it throws Led Zep
