"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 are awesome! I used this one on the "Almost Unplugged" DVD (Europe) and a tour and 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 McLaughling 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."

"My '80s rig from '84-'89. Unfortunately the original Hiwatt UK (Established Manufacturer) amp I used at the time (DR-103) got stolen when I was in the Don Dokken band, I went to rehearsal one day and it was gone along with a bunch of other gear. I sure miss that amp but this 50 Watt (DR-504) sounds great! Used by Matthias Jabs on two Scorpions albums in the mid '90s and it's also on my new album which will be out in February."
