Check out rainsong guitars, they produce mostly graphite guitars and have been in the business for a while. Eddie Vedder bought a few. Check it out http://www.rainsong.com/.

okay....don't ovations have a very metallic-y sound when plugged in? go listen to 3-23-93 (DMB) for the desired effect...that's the kinda sound i'm looking for.

I would characterize the Ovation sound, not so much metallic, but more hollow, light, crappy etc.

Many blues players play dobros, but mainly for slide work. Have you ever played one?
