I hope your right. When Alex Ryan did his video comparing the Taylor, Martin and X20. I thought the Taylor sounded the best. The X30 I ordered is arriving next week.

History:
- Ovation has a 50+ year history of guitars targeted for stage amplified performance. Guitars were favourite with many big name performers recognizable in videos by the decorative headstock extension.
- Key features are a durable tuned "lyracord" one piece bowl back/sides, wood necks, wood sound boards, and excellent pickups.
- The "Adamas" series uses a carbon fibre sound board.
- The Ovation division of the Kamann company was sold several times over the decades. New owners have revived Ovation Guitars and are expanding the number of dealers.

I'm finding this valuable as I search for a short(er) scale CF guitar. Now I need to find sound bytes or opinions on how the smaller body guitars fare. Most interested in fingerstyle, unamplified, and mostly for myself and not a crowd. FWIW, I'm a fan of Taylor style necks.

Particularly interested in comparisons between McPherson Touring and Emerald X7 (current version). Who's played them both?
