Can anybody tell me whether or not that was an actual Ovation ELECTRIC guitar the singer was playing on the Austin City Limits show? I have never seen an electric made by Ovation, and I was just curious.
I'm usually alright with pointing out guitars...but I don't know if Jim was playing an ovation last weekend. Tom? Field this one?
I do believe it's a 12-String Fender Strat.
The reason it looks like an ovaiton is because they had to reshape the headstock to accomodate all 12 strings.
Actually, I think it is an Ovation. They have tried to make electric guitars in the past, but never took off. Someone in a past post mentioned the type of ovation it was but I can't remember.
It's definitely not a fender strat, the body is way too different.
It looks like a gibson of some sort.
It's an Ovation, probably early 80's unless they started making them again. I used to have the same body style only six strings.
I have a vintage original Ovation electric semi hollow-body from the late 60's-early 70's. I was never aware that MMJ use Ovations.
you are right indeed.

Thanks everybody for your help. I never knew that Ovation made electrics, and now that I do I'm gonna have to find one somehow! You guys rock!
It has an awesome sound to it. I bet it would be hard to find. Let me know if you find two :)
