Seven String Acoustics

JPMDan · 07-11-2006, 06:05 PM

I dont have much knowledge for acoustic builders, just give me a piezo equipped guitar and I'm happy.

y'know id really love a ovation 7 string guitar acoustic.... theyre great, quite modern sounding... but then alot of people dislike them too... mainly for the boul back i find

evil · 07-11-2006, 06:26 PM

Umm and the workmanship.

darren · 07-11-2006, 06:30 PM

Yep. I've seen quite a few Ovations with really badly cracked tops.

Elysian · 07-11-2006, 07:17 PM

i don't really like how ovations sound myself... but after building my acoustic, i'm a real sucker for bubinga back and sides

cheapest ones:

at this excactly moment I'm watching a giannini 7 string electroacoustic nylon guitar on ebay. the guy ships only canada and USA

but well.. the bidding finishes in 2 days and the highest one is 69 bucks.. I would buy it right damn now if I could. also there is another one but it isn't cutaway, and there is only the buy it now option, with a price of 284 bucks. this guy ships worldwide, though.

I hope that more electroacoustic 7 strings guitars (with cutaway and ships to worldwide.. damn I don't want nothing at all) come up during the next few days.

Shh. Don't say "Ovation" around Matt.

Like everyone's been saying, it's cheap or it's not. There's not much of a midrange for a 7 string acoustic, unfortunately. May I ask why you're not interested in the Ibanez? It's really not a bad guitar, and it usually sells for a pretty decent price.

First - thanks for all the replies.

Second - I am the new king of the automerge doublepost:

All of the Ibanez acoustics I have heard (which is not a huge number) have not sounded very good to my ears. They sound like a decent guitar, but that's not what I am after.

I like the Adamas (sp?), but that's it. The rest of them have a tonal character in the mid-range which I don't not like.

That looks interesting, any idea how much they cost?

I actually need all 7 strings. What's the point of playing a 7 if it's really just a de-tuned 6 with an extra string?

Then again, you aren't too fond of CF guitars, IIRC...

I'll check those out. I like carbon fiber guitars, I really liked the RainSongs. I just don't like the standard Ovations...
