Default Anyone play an Ovation VXD ?

Just stumbled across some on eBay. I then watched a few YouTube clips. It's an interesting idea, but obviously, didn't sell well enough.

If you played one, how was it ? What did you like or not like ?

If you mean the Ovation VXT, I have one. Unfortunately I don't think the acoustic sound is very authentic--lacks warmth.

However, the electric side is wonderful. Sounds like a Fender Robben Ford model or a Gibson ES-335. Also, the guitar is very well made--I think Hamer had something to do with it.

Yeah, VXT. My mental typo.

Another nice feature of the VXT is the Seymour Duncan USA pickups. Mine has the humbuckers, not the P90's. Plus I think they go through the preamp for the acoustic side so they have a bit of a hi-fi sound to them....
