Starve your Fear, Feed your Dream!
Since my interest in Mandolin began some years ago, I always wanted to own an Ovation Mandolin. In early September I went to a GC I don't normally visit and found an Ovation Mandolin. I have seen Applauses and Korean made Ovations for about $299-$399 new but this one sparked my interest.
This one really sparked my interest so I took some pics, tried it out, then left and went home to do some research. Upon my research I found out that this Mando was made in the USA and sought after for its built in pickup and ease of play. Prices are said to be anywhere from $799 - $900. Some don't like it because sounds similar to a guitar because of its composition being so similar to the guitars.
Needless to say I came back the following day and bought. Upon waiting the usual 30 police stolen report period I picked this up yesterday. Oh I love it and it sounds great!!!
The really great part is that the Mando came with the case and the previous owner left a strap and a few Mando instruction DVD's. Awesome score to tell you the truth!
The Mando also features the great Pickup system along with the controls used on the guitars.
So Ossum and I have had a lot of fun playing it since the neck and fingerboard is much more comfortable for my fingers.
