Played guitar and bass when I was a teenager, but got rid of my stuff in my 20s when money was tight and I wasn’t playing much. Been feeling the need for a creative outlet recently so I went a few towns over to a used music shop and grabbed this beauty. I’ve always loved Ovation guitars, the round back profile feels more natural to play than a standard dreadnought style. Spent a bit more than I was hoping when I walked in but I’m very happy to have something to play again.
I do have a question for the community here; where do you buy strings and whatnots online, that’s not amazon or guitarcenter? I live in rural BFE and there are no music stores within 50 miles of me or else I’d go to one of those.


That’s hard to hear and I’m sorry for you
And honestly, I feel you very much
In my late youth I got a deep cut in my left little finger, which also cut a tendon
Can’t move it that good anymore
Pretty much immediately, after letting it heal for 4-6 weeks, I tried playing
As I also have nerve damage, I don’t really feel much in the finger as well
I could play some simpler chords, but after showing myself, that I still could, if I want, I pretty much stopped playing
Probably, because I don’t want to see, that’s it’s just not working anymore, like it used to…
Still have a half-acoustic and an electrical one in my apartment, but neatly packed away and ready to pick up, if I ever get a real urge to try it again
