lol i could have sworn you were like 'well in x year they made y model that was kinda ok'

they oddly enough made one or 2 weirdo electrics that were huge failures that are now collectible as hell. maybe i was talking about those?

in the wild these generally seem to be the purview of guys with ponytails and sandals
has anything good ever come of them

ha i was about to be sexist and say it was jewel-alikes
― goole, Friday, 1 June 2012 20:08 (eleven years ago) link
well i guess the ponytail and sandals are constants
they come packaged with directions to the nearest coffee house open mic iirc

thanks for the heads up on the Crafty Guitarists thing.. sounds very cool! will be trying out their New Standard Tuning tonight

make sure your ponytail and sandals are near at hand

lol
coincidentally i found an old pair of birkenstocks while cleaning my closet the other weekend. perfect timing
― diamonddave85, Friday, 1 June 2012 20:24 (eleven years ago) link
were they next to your old ponytail?

nah, but i did find some very old acid which seems appropriate considering: The tuning is (from low to high): CGDAEG, and can be remembered by the mnemonic "California Guitarists Drop Acid Every Gig"

early 90s ovation abuse, a possibly instructive example

sad true story - we had a dude special order the eastwood breadwinner reissue and then bail, so if anyone wants to see one in the MPLS/STPL, its hanging on my goddamn guitar wall

you don't sound bitter at all

I seem to recall that Joe Strummer would harass Ovations players into giving them up - saying some sort of double-entendre like "you have to have some wood behind your sound"

^ when you're not playing you can use it to open enormous bottles of beer

i will begrudgingly admit that it is a pretty comfortable guitar and it sounds good but

my first reaction upon seeing that is if you painted it red and blue, it would be a Super Mario Guitar

"What if we developed an acoustic guitar that could reproduce the tinny sound of an amplified acoustic guitar, but without amplification?" God I hate these.
