Ha he - then again I think these craftsmen look extraordinary righteous and qualified. The more I study them, the higher I tip my hat. See fx the kneeling guy close to the camera leaning forward while measuring the overall proportions by eye. Or him who has rolled himself under the bridge on a slay. Impressing.

Of Course I have. Oh, the horror. But the studio can make anything sound good. If they are such great guitars, how many of them do you own? Edited February 19, 2022 by Sgt.

But the studio can make anything sound good. If they are such great guitars, how many of them do you own? Yes, studio engineering can do a lot, but you can really hear that plectrum hitting the bass strings of that ballsy-sounding Ovation Legend in the recording. They are different guitars for a different kind of sound, and for the stage of course. I own exactly one—as with all guitars, the sound doesn't get better in multiples, but you can keep trying...
