Mid and treble ranges are strong, as is the bass, although taking the lower E string down to a D magnifies the bass immeasurably. Unplugged it has a clean and understated warmth of tone with almost as much resonance as the Kinkade guitar 35 years its senior, which is impressive to say the least. In the whole of Bristol we only source one such instrument for sale - a bespoke, 1982 Kinkade guitar with a Sitka spruce top and a neck design based entirely on a Les Paul: a kooky design, but a benchmark nonetheless. In order to provide an adequate all-round, well-balanced review we set out to compare it with another bowlback guitar. The width of the neck lets you do this too.īack in the day, the Ovation neck was based around the classical guitar neck, so the nut width would have been even greater at about 52mm, though in this case it is a manageable 43mm. If you like to wrap your thumb around the neck and get into strumming techniques then this is the perfect setup. While your fretboard fingers have light work on the ebony fingerboard, the thumb struggles a little on the steep curve of the reverse side of the neck for melodic playing. The consistency of tone and balance of sound across the guitar is remarkable Playing and standing might be more of a hindrance to players with the more voluminous figure, though. Sitting down to play the guitar there is one obvious benefit to the bowlback and that is the way it moulds into your body as you play: it just seems to naturally fill the void between yourself and the guitar. Hidden in the shadows of the guitar you’ll find quarter sawn scalloped X-bracing - which is ideal, providing that fuller, more resonant tone in order to complement the natural lightness of sound more commonly associated with spruce tops. The headstock is in Ovation’s distinctive shape (looking something a little like a semi-duck-billed platypus) and sports Schaller M6 Gold tuners. On top of the neck, which is a five-piece mahogany/maple concoction, sits an ebony fingerboard stippled with acrylic pearl diamonds and dots and the final 20th fret is signed-off with Glen Campbell’s signature. Where Glen Campbell’s original model had a highly varnished neck, this model has a matt, almost open-pore finish to it. Encircling the top is a white ABS striped binding with black and white purfling. Sitting on the glistening solid top, the contrast in textures makes it stand out even more.
