The original was not just an acoustic guitar of course.
The wife likes the tune because of this:
The best part of the movie, if you watch through to the "luggage problem".
Where's that thread about Movies Not Seen?The best part of the move Joe vs The Volcano is the entire movie. If you forced me to pick a part I’d say every scene with Meg Ryan followed by every seen with Tom Hanks.

Well, that's an awfully pretty Ovation, John, but I'm not sure it'd be very comfortable to play as a classical especially if you're thinking of playing in classical position... Anyway, you're right about prices these days. I wonder if they'll sag back down kind of like used car prices are presumably doing.GC has one of those Ovations, but a call to Texas told me why GC had is just as " good ". Pickup didn't work. ( Probably no 9v battery in the holder. ) But crack in the top from bridge to bottom, not in the center. They didn't even dust it before taking the picture and it is STILL really dusty, he said, and no case. Ah well. I wished them a nice day.
Post COVID guitar prices still surprise me. I'm sure these guitars would be half of what they show up for now.
Mine had a rubber gripper thingie that made it possible to play in classical position, but, you're right, no where near as comfortable as a real classical.Well, that's an awfully pretty Ovation, John, but I'm not sure it'd be very comfortable to play as a classical especially if you're thinking of playing in classical position...

Actually, Brad, I've never tried it, but it makes sense to me. In any case, I don't know if that was John's intent or not. I don't think the fellow from the vid was playing it that way, and I know that even when I play "Classical Gas" on my classicals I use the normal seated position (not classical).Mine had a rubber gripper thingie that made it possible to play in classical position, but, you're right, no where near as comfortable as a real classical.
When I'm seated, unless I'm singing, too, I gravitate to the classical position, even on steel strings. I guess almost 50 years of playing classical, for many of those years only classical music, has been indelibly imprinted in my muscle memory!Actually, Brad, I've never tried it, but it makes sense to me.

^ Yep!
I have had a conversation or two with a forum member about his Mark IV. I think I need to decide what style I really want a nylon strung guitar for and what a realistic budget should be.
