    Funny how you mentioned to try an Ovation, thats what I have right now, it plays great, the sounds is amazing, especially when through an amp, but its just the way it slides off my lap cause of that round back, i don't like it at all.
    That's the one things I don't like about Ovations. I never use a strap and just put it on my knee. I have a buddy that just got a beautiful black Ovation acoustic. It sounds great, but I don't like it for that simple fact. A "plastic"-round back just doesn't seem right...

    I'd hate to think it could be arthritus...

    It's probably just natural tiring.

    My wrist and fingers get tired after so long too. Only on acoustic.

    BTW an hour is never long enough!

    You're right. I can sit and fiddle with an acoutic for hours on end! Nothing is better after a day of bullshit work then coming home, cracking open a beer and playing some tunes. It really make you forget about everything...just for a little while.
    My next guitar purchase is going to be one of the best I've ever made...
    Can't wait!

    Yeah, its wierd. But I guess I can get over that since I usually play those while standing up. It IS really hard to keep those on your lap sitting down...

    Yeah well I got a few tips from people saying that when u play bar chords on an acoustic to use the power of your arm to push the chord against the strings and not just your hand and fingers, which i tend to do, im gonna have to try to work on that, see if it helps.

    Yeah, they sound great for the money but I'm not sure if I'd ever own one. I'm pretty sure for a few hundred more I'd get a Taylor or a Martin.
