Boutique brands were always a crap-shoot. That said, if the stars align I would love to buy a Wal if they are what they say they are. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Sounds like they're not going to stop making or selling Ovations, they're just gonna move production somewhere else. I know the used market sucks because I have guitars to sell. The only ones people want used anymore are American made Gibsons, Martins, and Fenders. Boutique brands aren't selling. Boutique brands were always a crap-shoot.

Boutique guitars are great as long as you do your research. Resale value is in the eye of the beholder what is your dream guitar may be the next guys nightmare. |

You have to be an old timer to remember the Glen Campbell Good Time Hour.

I have a mahogany Deacon sitting next to me right now. (Photo - far right)
I bought it in college over 30 years ago and gave it to my son a few years back. He plays it much better than I ever did.

I suspect the price of nice examples will soon begin to rise dramatically. |

Had to sell the Mach when times got rough. |

I always thought a lot of women played them because it didn't cut into the tits. They are aggravating to play because they want to slide down into you lap with that curved back.

This. And although they are lacking in tone, for unamplified stage performance nothing equaled the volume of an Ovation. I had an early production Legend model and passed it to my son. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I was not going to go there but I agree, the ones I have played event the high end ones were terrible. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: It is an iconic guitar and it sucks to see another American factory close it's doors. I'm glad the employees will be taken care of. Honestly, though, it doesn't surprise me at all. They're ugly ass guitars, uncomfortable to play, and sound awful unless you get into some of their higher end guitars. And even at that point, I think you'd be better off putting that money towards a Martin or a Taylor. Just my opinion. I was not going to go there but I agree, the ones I have played event the high end ones were terrible. to play and they sound good plugged in but not otherwise. |
