This is the UK where climate is mild and attic temperatures may not be extreme. I have several guitars stored in my mother's attic (Germany) for about 40 years now and they are still in the same shape as then.

There is only brief mention of Ovation, but they kept on producing and re-issuing their Josh White guitar for decades after his fame passed as FD14, 6774, and 1114 and 1614 Folklore model. https://www.si.edu/object/josh-white-model-guitar-and-case-owned-josh-white:nmaahc_2021.107ab...

I assume all straight PB no coating etc? Of these I have tried Pearse and previous generation Adamas on my Ovation 12 string and I liked them both. But since then I have switched to coated PB d'addario for my Ovations and NB for Guilds.

Nice, so the sun in this has a diameter of roughly 15m and Earth about 14cm, only 1.6 km away from the sun. In contrast the furthest planet Neptune is 54cm diameter and 51km away from sun.

The astromical dimensions sure stretch the mind. Just attempt build a model of the solar system with planet sizes and distances to scale.

One of my 70s fusion guitar heroes for sure. Does he still play an Ovation acoustic?

I consider vintage early models from a brand in their early configuration before they were mucked around with by marketing departments. For example some pre war Gibson and Martin acoustics, 50s Les Pauls, or pre-CBS strats.

I have been watching the Time Machine movie on Amazon over a few nights this week. Just incredible playing. I don't think think they had an album that I did not consider amazing.

Canuck Randy Bachman got his Gretsch back after almost 50 years. They had a documentary about it on Canadian TV.

It's on Canadian cable stations streaming. With vpn you may be able to get it.

The string question is very valid. For comparison of guitars they should all be strung with same strings at same time. But store experience will be different. I remember in a store playing a bunch of Gibsons all with dead strings and horrible sound. I complained to sales person and he said that...

It is notable that in the statement below they mention ukulele players. There is a huge global ukulele player community, and surprisingly Yamaha so far has not had a line of Ukuleles though this is very popular in Japan. However there is a full line of Cordoba ukes and it makes me wonder if one...

But do they not both use a tuning fork logo?

I saw a glamorous career ahead when I answered all with true.

So since the takeover have there been any notable changes or NEWS? Were there any new acoustics presented at NAMM?

Yeah I guess that red Strat was not up for auction. And what's the relevance of the Pensa Suhr?

Word is nasty for HTML. Use notepad instead to be safe.

Guild is supposed to have a booth at NAMM so looking forward to reports.

I have been procrastinating changing the 12 string slothead for quite a few years now... :eek:

I don't think that we need to fit Guild guitars into size and shape classifications from other brands like Martin or Taylor. I kinda like that they can stay on their merits. We will see if Oxnard will release additional sizes that were popular in the past.
