Ovation VXT vs Duotone

Well, off the top of my head. “Duotone”, is a much cooler model name.
That’s all I got…
Owned two Duotones, and I have a repair shop client whose two VXTs I've serviced for years. Both are great, neither are duds by any stretch.
The biggest difference I've noted is because the Duotone has an actual wooden acoustic bridge plus sound holes in the spruce top, it sounds and feels more acoustic, warm and woody, both unplugged and amplified to my ears and ribcage. So if you want the more convincing "duo tone" guitar, for both stage AND studio applications, the Hamer is the better choice IMO.
