Ovation Standard Balladeer L X
This is a the best sounding Ovation I ever heard.
I have compared it to Martins, Gibsons, Fender acoustics you name it and this one sounds the best! For my personal taste anyways.
It has Al Di Meola’s signature preamp in it which is awesome!
I used this one on the “Almost Unplugged” DVD (Europe) and a tour and a bunch of gigs with my great sister Tone Norum (one of the best female singers in the world).
So I just had to have one after hearing the album “Friday Night in San Francisco” in the ’80s, (I’ve had a few) with the amazing Al Di Meola, John McLaughlin and Paco de Lucía.
Al and John used the Ovations and Paco (RIP) – being the greatest flamenco guitar player ever lived – used a nylon-string flamenco guitar.
