However, Ovation's round back eliminates the need of end blocks, which makes the whole body uniformly-thin. To fit the endpin jack, normally we drill a 12mm hole on the "End block" in wood acoustic guitar, which is 3/4 inch thick generally, and most endpin jacks are designed to "clamp" on a piece of thick wood like it. So I'd like to add a second pickup, possibly a soundboard transducer or internal mic.

The original Ovation pickups sound full and good, but they just don't pickup the body sound clearly enough (They do better than many third-party under-saddle pickups, but still not enough ). I play fingerstyle guitar with lots of percussive technic (like Preston Reed ). I came here with one question which I never get a professional answer locally. And an Ovation Pinnacle (Made in Japan ), an Applause AE-36 and two AE-38.

I own an Adamas 1687-2 (1995 ) and an Ovation 1719 30-CM Custom Legend (2004, commemorative model ). So I'm really appreciated the existence of this site. There's few information about Ovation in my country. Things are same here: Ovation guitars just don't get the respects they deserve. Hello everyone, I'm silverguitarist from Taiwan.
