Cathy,

Nope I'm not a member. I picked up the term from the Acoustic Guitar Magazine website and the Ovation Fan Club site.

Is it the D-15's base you like over the OM? The lack of a good solid low E string made me go for my Martin after all the years with a roundback. I don't dislike the Ovation at all. Since I mostly play bare fingerstyle, it doesn't require quite as much effort to pull out the trebles. The Martin's sound is more balanced, though and I'm really enjoying it.

As I've said on my other posts, the 12 is a whole new experience. I believe you find it a lot of fun.
