Re: How special is this sound?
Old Gibson ovals have a nice voice. If you get something similarly constructed (eg., the Eastman Oval Hole) you get something like that for more like Alvarez money. Ovals and F holes just sound different. Especially with the 12 vs 14 fret neck join and the non elevated fingerboard on the older ovals. The bracing is different on the soundboard as well.
