I'm guessing that being a smallish woman with her up-neck playing style, the rounded body works well for her, and having the soundhole up near where she smacks the guitar body probably gives her some tonal options. She also played a Fender, not entirely sure of the model... body reminded me of a Jaguar, but the switchgear looked different. There was another electric that I didn't recognise, and then this four-stringed thing that I have no clue what it was. No, not a bass.

I just did a wikipedia read to see if it said anything about her guitars...

After using guitars manufactured by the Ovation Guitar Company throughout her career, King was invited to design her own custom guitar. The result is her primary instrument, the 1581-KK custom Ovation Adamas acoustic guitar. King herself signs her name on each guitar.
