I own an early 1980’s ovation with piezo bridge. One quirk is that the guitar is very sensitive to the touch of the player and what sort of pick is used, especially when strumming. It can sound strong with two or three note chords, and I tend to get a jazzy tone rather than traditional flattop.
to compare the strings need to match
Taylors are overrated and overpriced. Ovations are amazing!
En la linea ovation en acustica taylor
Ovation wins again
You are awesome!
Ovation is the winner
The Ovation just sounds cleaner and more lively.
The Taylor sounds great, but that Ovation?!?! MAN, OH MAN!!!!!
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Wow. A lot of Ovation fans on this thread, but I much prefer the sound of the Taylors
nice review …. i used to have several Ovation models as custom legend – elite and custom elite – as i had once a mid range Tylor during 1991 till now – i only kept my custom legend that has a special taste .
but even in this review the Tylor sounds more bass and muddy than the legendry bright acoustic tone of the Ovation
great review for the top names of acoustic guitars
Initially I thought the Taylor had a softer tone that the Ovation but right at 9:28 there was a tonal change with the Taylor giving it a sharper tone that I thought was similar to the ovation. Couldn't tell if it was just the pick or something electrically changed. Anyway both sound great. I have a 1975 1621 Balladeer that I bought new and a Taylor 814CE Love them both would never part with either one. Great video, love your picking style and progression selection to highlight both instruments strengths.
I own over 50 guitars. Major brands. I’ve played over 50 years and I’ve finally decided to own a Taylor. Crossing to the dark side but they are just darn good. I can’t avoid them any longer.
I have had 3 Taylor’s and I have the USA ovation TX. I sold all Taylor’s long ago the ovation is a way better stage guitar the pickup is just awesome (for what I do)
You do not mention the feel, like the neck size.
I really don’t like the plucky thinner sound of my ovation. I can hear the plastic and it sounds artificial to me…
Ovation ????????????????????????????????????????
The ES2 seems to be a love it or hate it system. I think it’s more realistic than the Ovation under-saddle system. But I can imagine why that sound is difficult to work with in a loud live setting. The Ovation electronics still sound like rubber bands on plastic. But it’s easy to shape that sound to fit into a live mix.
I wish your store was close to me. I’m in the market for a stage acoustic. I’d love to check these out in the company of knowledgeable people.
Maybe I’m crazy but I think the tailor has a fuller brighter tone but both sound amazing.
Taylor's are junk
Both sound great. I think the Taylor was fractionally more natural.
…Taylor ist the winner
Funny and sad at the same time for ME. In the early seventies I bought my first Ovation (BEFORE they had electronics!) LOVED it, so in 1975 I bought 3 MORE (a 6-string GC Custom, a 12-string GC Custom, and the NYLON 1624 Country Artist). In 1980 I purchased a GORGEOUS Natural Custom Legend. I then had FIVE (5) Ovations that I loved… By 1984 I had FOUR (4) Ovations with SPLIT TOPS, in the SAME PLACE!!! (from the bridge to the bottom of the lower bout, STRAIGHT DOWN THE MIDDLE on 3, STRAIGHT DOWN THE MIDDLE, then turned right towards the treble side and lifted about 3 inches on the CUSTOM LEGEND!) The ONLY one that hasn't split is the NYLON one, which I still play TODAY. Sorry Ovation, ONE would be a "FREAK THING", TWO would be a "COINCIDENCE", but FOUR is way BEYOND acceptable… I had no choice but to take my business ELSEWHERE, and never looked back. Still love my NYLON, and on the 'bright side", believe it or not, the CUSTOM LEGEND with the "lifted top", STILL holds TUNE! LOLOLOLOL… GO FIGURE!
Well, I’m a fan of Taylor guitars but I must say that the ovation just sounded more well rounded for a lack of a better way to put it.
The Ovation noticibly stands out!!!
Ovation wins yes!
I bought an elite 2078 used from a pawn shop that appeared in great shape. It sounded fine and loved the neck. However when I hooked to my 3 different amps I was not at all impressed. I could not get past the treble being so in control. Ovations pickup was not that good. I picked up my 1980's Custom Legend which the electronics had quit on and Ovation did not have parts to fix. My friends helped and we cut the lyrachord and inserted a new preamp system that fit perfectly and sounds better now with less chance of feed back than it did factory and even looks like a factory modification. Telling all this because I am comparing the two. Playing to compare my Custom Legend, I could not take the 2978 back fast enough. It did not sound anything like this commercial sounded. It may be ok for someone but not me!
I feel the Ovation had the clearer sound and more ability to project the sound with ease. Perhaps better action as well.
Ovation????????????
Wonderful. Does anyone know what's the song he is playing ?
I ordered the Ovation yesterday. Should be in the mail today! Diggin these comments! Did not think it’d be compared to a Taylor when I ordered.
I have an Ovation was thinking about another brand but thinking another guitar will be a Ovation
