Value For Money : Excellent
The best is to go on the Ovation website for technical characteristics.
The main difference is obviously the matter which constitutes the body of the guitar body.
This is the same material that is used to make helicopter blades!

UTILIZATION

The big advantage I find with this guitar is that you keep it very close to the body. For someone who is accustomed to playing with a folk guitar with a body "classic" it may be a bit confusing at first but you get used very quickly.
To play standing with a strap at the beginning we felt that it slide a bit but is pulled quickly from the fact that the party really close to your body like an electric guitar.
The neck is really nice, nothing to say on that side. The cutaway allows easy access to the last fret (although folk for solos is not that of y 'better now ...)
So really agrébale guitar playing!

SOUNDS

The main point which we must be careful that the size of the fund. There are different depths. There are "Small", "Medium" and "Jumbo".
I have a box "Small" and the sounds are very good. What is clear is really a particular grain had to matter. But with a box "Small", it is true that the power of sound is not as strong with a cash or with a conventional "Jumbo". Solicitating for bass, then I think that for many the highlight should be a "Jumbo".
If it was ç again, I bought the same but with a bigger body.
Otherwise sound level there is nothing to say, the sound is clear is going very well when amplified.
There is also an equalizer on the side that allows the sound to properly set on the amp.

OVERALL OPINION

It's been 4 years since I played with and the only regret I have is do not take cash "Jumbo".
Otherwise there is nothing to say.
Major advantages: Excellent playability and sounds unique to Ovation.
I had paid at the time Fr 2800 (about 400 €), scratching little excessive, so excellent value for money.
