Guitars of the Past - Part 3

For a short time I owned an Ovation Folklore. This model has (or had) a wider than usual neck (1 7/8" at the nut), supposedly to facilitate fingerpicking. I did like the neck on the guitar, but eventually found myself dissatisfied with it - my first encounter with the fact that, for me at least, Ovations can be impressive at first but don't "wear" well in the long run.

Gig report

Playing at church last Sunday went fine - no major foul-ups, the timing was just right, and it seemed to be well-received. The only real problem was balance: the (unamplified) guitar didn't project as well as the flute, but we expected that and decided we could live with it for the kind of performance it was.
