Ovation Celebrity 80/90 equipped with a passive piezo. The guitar consists of a 3/4 cutaway hull, table glued spruce and mahogany neck very thin and comfortable. it gives this celebrity lightness, sound and superior comfort and a great versatility. Mine is dark brown finish: no more fancy than that but Smart, who has through the years despite the road.

UTILIZATION

This is definitely the best race of all acoustic who have passed through my hands so far. The cutaway provides access to the latest freight, hull delivers a not very powerful (if you play "dry" with boxes full of other folks, maybe they will have to adjust to that you hear about on the beach fire) but the sound is one of the best ever heard: precise, crystalline, in agreement as gimmick.
Mine has seen 100 times the sea, the mountains, the evenings when it was the inning to messing around on the nights when we fell asleep in the grass, she survived all, a real globe trotter! I had a small vibration problem once inside the box after a trip, but a luthier arranged me very quickly. Michelle Shocked recorded his first album in full at the roadside, just with that!

SOUNDS

In 25 years, I've done all kinds of music: mostly folk and blues of course, but also bossa, samba, pop the liking of adventures and encounters. On it I write everything. At registration, the piezo is faithful but very dry: modern folk have better systems I think. For my part, I plug the piezo on the table, I re-balance slightly EQUAL to the sound, but mostly I put a zoom H1 in front of the box. And then it becomes enjoyable: I mix with just a little piezo to keep the attacks, and any projection Ovation is captured: happiness.

OVERALL OPINION

This is a great warm and light guitar in all situations and especially when traveling. Great for travel! I never found such a comfortable handle on a folk: It's sad that we can find today, every time I use it, I beg not to be forced to play on another one day.
