Cat Steven's Sound?!?!?!
Anyone have any info on how he recorded his acoustic guitars? I've always liked his sound.

You start with an Ovation. That, in and of itself, is an issue. Like Kenny Loggins and many other acoustic-electric pop artists of that period, he gigged with a plastic guitar, including live TV sound stages. I wonder what he recorded with. Too bad, he became a religious fanatic.-Richie

Thanks Richie for the input...
As for you other 2 clowns....real constructive fellows...ACES!  I have been thinking about it...and maybe it is his songwriting that I am drawn to...more than his guitar tone...there is just something alluring about him....it might be a mix of the two?!

Cowboy,
Cat's distinctive sound on his early recordings came largely from the blend of instruments he and Alun Davies were using, as well as their complimentary styles (Davies played on all his early stuff). Davies played an Epiphone dreadnought (often capoed) and Cat often used a Gibson J-200 and a Hagstrom. He used an Ovation live, like everyone else in the '70s, but not in the studio. Check out the Archive material (live from '71) on the new DVD of Cat's '76 tour and you should get a feel for where the sound is coming from. Later... rda
