Glen was the reason Ovation was successful. The right talent, at the right time, pushing them to be innovative with their, already innovative, guitar. Yes, there were other artists and groups that joined the bandwagon...but Glen got Ovation their first huge (do I sound like Trump?) exposure and pushed them to develop their own acoustic electric piezo and modify their bowl size.
Funny thing is...all the innovativeness that Ovation did over the years didn't really interest Glen, starting around the 90's. He was happy with his 80's Custom Legend and Viper. He pushed Ovation so hard in the late 60s' for a smaller bowl...and then in the 80's and 90's he is playing deep bowls again. Of course he abandoned the Ovation electric, to return back to the strat and then the strat copy G&L (made by the Leo Fender, who brought us the strat...so if he copied his own guitar, is it a copy?)
