I believe Ovation / Adamas has proven itself to be a viable alternative ever since Glen Campbell showed up on Nation Television in the late 60's proving the worth of a "not all wood" guitar.
An acoustic that played like a Les Paul. That was cutting edge, but even as late as .......well.......yesterday, Guitar players give them the thumbs down. Why?
The subjective nature of humanity.
The current offerings of Carbon / Composite Guitars simply need to be played to open up first the ears, next the arms, then the heart of musicians, finally the wallet.
We all know Garth doesn't play a Takamine because it sounds better.
Time has a way of keeping good around and fads fleeting.
I have a place in my heart for every guitar that I have owned or been touched by.
I have owned Grammar, Gibson, Gurian, Adamas, Ovation, Takamine, Alverez, Gretsch, Yamaha, Martin, Taylor, and Rainsong.
I currently have the Martin, Taylor, and Rainsong. The Rainsong is my favorite all around acoustic! Easier on my old hands, and ears.
