New Price in € 480, I had a coupon in the last years of selling in the 400 € in my memories.

UTILIZATION

Super nice handle and end like that of an electric guitar.
Finding the strings too high original, I made a complete adjustment on mine with the lowering ropes to ease the games and finger pressure.
Pleasant by its lightness and shape at the weight, like it or not like is typical Ovation and that's what makes its charm I think.
Access to acute is perfect seen the plan off.
Only drawback, the near-stack amp that will blank out if the cable is connected and the round box that is not super practical "slumped on the sofa" position is allowed but hey it's like that for all Ovations.

When finishing it clean and well finished, RAS: Image Ovation brand requires.
(In total disagreement with the advice of Sage also on this point, but I'll lower for tones)

SOUNDS

Question her, she is top: Not connected it has a very pleasant and efficient sound, beautiful treble, bass a little less present, sustain interest, its natural and accurate sound ... In either unplug waited for an acoustic guitar without provided challenging acoustic guitars twice the price, but this is not necessarily the same categories.

Connected amp, it is just beautiful.
The preamp is effective and many tone setting. Acute settings, bass and mids are relevant and well defined.

With all the pedals tested (OD, Disto, Reverb, Chorus, Phaser ...), it responds very well but I think it will largely depend on the amp used.

Used on electric guitar amps transistor and tube, I guess an acoustic amp the sound can be still better.

I do not understand all the reviews "Sade" is the only one to find "abhorrent" as he says. Even on American sites there are only very good reviews.
Obviously if Mr. compares this Ovation CC024 Ovation Adamas with its worth over € 3,000, or more than 6 times more expensive, and it has never connected this guitar on a good tube amp. It may also be necessary to compare what is comparable in the same range!

It's like comparing a Gibson Les Paul Custom 58 or more than € 3,500 with Gibson LP Studio, the quality is top but the budget did have nothing.
In this case, as saying that all the guitars below € 1,500 are real crap hawkers and here I am far from being agreed. When you drive a Ferrari, it's easy to dismiss a VW.

Or whether there was confusion with the new Ovation CC24 models that new cost nearly 200 € cheaper and do not have the same characteristics.

Brief in this range is a value very very good!

OVERALL OPINION

Used for over 5 years so moderate as it is not my main guitar, I played mostly at first. I now plays mainly electric guitar, but I always take pleasure to play with for more acoustic session.

As already mentioned, excellant value for price.

UTILIZATION

handle was quite small fingers + + + + pretty good position but she slips on her knees is just okay without an amp strings are not just curl them and you can go up the neck (eg jazz) connected to amp (Ibanez Troubadour TA20) eest sound great for picking and flat picking and jazz but lack of heat (wood) I have also a guild d 125 and 710 which cort mr sound better (wood I tell you!)
