UTILIZATION

For an acoustic guitar, it is very very easy to access the top notes and last frets. The hand fits easily and perfectly in the les paul style slot. For the strange shape of the sound hole, it makes an unbelievably unique and sweet sound, with no effort or modifications. The preamp is awesome, and has many built in settings that can come in handy (tuner, looper). Also, the guitar is very light weight and extremely comfortably while playing.

SOUNDS

From this guitar, all you get is a perfect, clean sound. What i love most is the finger picking. It makes such a beautiful sound, its crazy. For the price, it is a must have.

OVERALL OPINION

What i like most about this guitar is the shape and look of the body. For an acoustic guitar, its very unique and quite different. If you love Ovation guitars, then this is a must have for your collection. It looks great, sounds amazing, and can absolutely do more than any other acoustic (and most electric) guitars. Honestly, for the price, i don't know why you wouldn't buy it. This guitar is going for around $250 i believe. It really should be selling for at least $1000. My only wish with this guitar is that i had bought a second one!

UTILIZATION

This is a very nice guitar to hand decision, being accustomed to far more entry-level models, the use of this one is great.

The neck is of good quality and the strings are easy to block despite the factory default setting. Strings curl very little or not at all unlike my other folk.

Access to the last box is rather simple, but still not as much as on electrical and cons at this location where the handle, the lock is correctly any more of following sports.

Roundback shape is a bit confusing at first, especially playing sitting, the guitar a little more likely to drag a "standard" form

SOUNDS

Question her, nothing wrong, I have not yet had the opportunity to connect, but the sound is divine.
The sound is super clear, and very sensitive, no need to play like a nag to get out of her.

OVERALL OPINION

I recently, but I'm glad I do not regret having bought it, on the contrary, it is well worth the investment.
I was tempted by Ovation for several years, this will probably not be the last.
