I stand corrected! I just went to a video of Glen playing the "Wichita Lineman" on the Good Time Hour. I guess it is one of his own signature models:

"I believe that he also played what looks like a Custom Legend (Natural) on the Goodtime Hour"
I don't think that would have been possible.
The GCGH ran from 69 to 72, I think.
I think the CL 12 came out in the late 70's.
If you have a pic or video that you are referencing, give me the link and lets try to ID it!

Early on, he played the signature 12's Ovation made for him...except the first one ( you can read about it here)
Of course, when Charlie made it for him, he preferred the Bluebird and later on, the Hamer on stage. The only reason he may have left the Bluebird, was when it was damaged, Jeff had Hamer customize his 12 to the specs of the Bluebird (neck, Ovation bridge).
I have seen him with an Adamas 12. But really, once the Bluebird was designed, that is typically what you saw him with, then the Hamer...

Hi, everyone:
These may be easy questions for Jay or the other great scholars on the Forum!!!
1) Which acoustic 12-string Ovations did Glen play?
2) What are the Ovation Glen Campbell re-issues of these 12-strings?
Thanks,
Karl
