This, so much this
Horrid plasticky sound of grotty transducers.
This guy plays around NZ quite a lot and after a gig I collared him to find out what system he used to get such a natural sound. L R Baggs Anthem.
Went and got one and it's just magic.
No this isn't a mic sound in this clip

I think it's just because the Ovation was the first of its kind, the only (?) plug-in acoustic available in the late 70s/80s
and it made live performance with an acoustic much less of a headache for the crew, so everyone went for it.
It *almost* spoils the live versions of The Trees.

Lot's of transducers nowadays emulate that sound
I have heard of people praising how such and such a pickup 'emulates the class Ovation sound"

I'm rolling my eyes and shaking my head at the same time,
which is quite a feat by today's standards.
