My Ovation 12-String (Martin's Guitar Collection 2022)

Rounding out Acoustic August, I bought this Ovation Standard Elite 2758AX-NEB in June 2010. It's been a faithful companion for many years, and has recently seen the upgrade of Schaller tuners. 12-string guitars aren't fit for every purpose, but this is, sentimental value aside, a really useful addition to my guitar collection. You're hearing it through microphones and the built-in pickup through a Grace Design Alix preamp.

Hi, I'm Martin Cliffe, I'm a Bucharest-based English musician and YouTuber. As well as music stuff, my channel is about my journey away from physical and mental clutter, and towards a more minimal and intentional lifestyle, particularly as we adjust to Romanian life after 8 years in Hong Kong.
