Ovation Patriot (1776)

I just acquired another of my dream guitars. I share my story about missing the chance to get one new in 1976. It’s a beautiful instrument.

Great guitar, I'd love to have one. Yeah, 1976 USA Bicentennial year, was the year I graduated from High School and also the year I started playing guitar...

Great video. A-braced Patriot, tough to beat and severely underrated for its acoustical prowess.

It is surprisingly lively and loud, even compared to my Balladeer. The silk and steel strings make it play like “buttah.”

Correction : The only Ovation ever made with a ‘Walnut neck’ is the ADAMAS . The ‘Patriot’ has a ‘Mahogany and Maple’ (then) standard ‘U.S.A’ made neck and guitar.

Thanks. I meant to say mahogany, but sometimes I get tongue-tied doing videos.
