  • Kaki King is uniqueness personified. Much like an Ovation, she makes her own rules. She opened up about her distinct playing style and the reason she loves the sound and feel of her guitars. Kaki, we want to grow up and be like you someday.

    First time i've listen to Kaki was in a movie called "Into the wild". Since then i've never stopped to listen to her. Her music is amazingly good.

    I met her 10 years ago during a q&a / signing after a show. I said I enjoyed her music since her first album came out, and asked about the tuning of a song that I couldn't get by ear.
    She glared and said "It's just dadfad" reallly snarky and pissed off. I guess she thought it was a stupid question because it was standard slide tuning.
    Anyway, that was pretty funny to hear someone say "dad-fad" in a voice dripping with contempt.

    I saw a review complaining about the pickup and body being sensitive to sounds/scraping, and bam, she literally uses it as a perk. Never fully trust reviews, make your own judgements. I love my ovation.

    I actually help pay for Kaki's first Adamas. Her dad was a member of the same Ovation Fan Club group and asked us for donations so that he could buy her an Adamas guitar. I was so happy she turned into a great guitarist.

      Cool story bro. I just saw Kaki live a couple of weeks ago, and she was telling the audience how her first Adamas was one that her dad had for years, and gifted her when she went to college. Interestingly her second Adamas was a gift from ovation after her first one was stolen from her New York apartment.

      @AngeloLuis22 Рік тому +2

      Some yes, because mine is stainless steel already and it is superb sound tone plus comfortability upon good care for almost 1 decade already set up fine still but the downside is the electronics "piezo" because it shorted already looses; this guitar is better playing unplugged on cable but if i want and you want to use it on amplifier or speakers' mic'd up infront on it is the key or much comfortability by using clip on wired or wireless pickup mic that clip on the particularly good spot hear sound.

They are every bit as good as any high end boutique guitar (I have two different Lowdens in the house and the Ovations are as good. They don’t sound the same as each of the four has their own tonal character but, all sound absolutely lovely.)

    • @blakereed1654
      @blakereed1654 6 років тому +1

      Xcorgi my theory is that some do it to pick up girls because thats usually how guys do it: with an acoustic guitar. But I have noticed that a lot of lesbians like Ovation guitars for some reason.

      Kaki started on guitar as a young girl. She talks in other interviews that she played drums as a teen, and thought they would be the instrument she 'made it' with. Wasn't until late teens that she got back into guitar. She even incorporates drums into her live shows.

  • @upen52

    Ah.... Ms. King, I want to know why I should buy an Ovation guitar.....not how you play the drums on the guitar. And, if you have to play the drums on poor dear Ovation, you would sound better using drum sticks (the one we play, not eat) ! Most of the so called experts, present their talents in playing or performing. We know you are talented and play well, that's why Ovation hired you, in the first place. So that you would explain the guitar in detail. Please, use your hands to play the guitar and NOT drums and explain to us the various aspects of Ovation. Can you ?
