What an odd shape. Can you describe the sound as opposed to a standard guitar?

It's hard to describe in words, really. The material and the shape of the back do make a difference, especially when it comes to the volume of the instrument. My deep-bowl 12-string Ovation just booms. But I think the wood top makes most of the difference. That's the part that really vibrates with the strings. I've got one with a cedar top that sounds completely different from the ones I've heard made of spruce or other tonewoods. Some traditional "wood box" guitar players turn their noses up at Ovations, but I love the way they sound.

It is a beautiful piece! It's hard to make gray look good.

Thanks, Perfesser. I agree. She's a beauty.

Awesome Guitar but I would play this song.

Good choice, Io. That's one of my favorites to play, especially when I can get one or two people to harmonize with me on the chorus.

The reflection of the blue sky on that surface is magnificent! Great shot, my friend! ^__^

Thank you. And now I have to wonder if I should have quoted the lyrics from "Mr. Blue Sky" by Electric Light Orchestra.

if it makes you happy then that's all that counts... you need to be posting some of your music Ursus...

Other people have also encouraged me to do so. I just need to make some time to work out the best way to record myself. Maybe over the holidays...
