Ovation CK047-CRP

Made in Korea (1996), a points finish too top (plastic rosette, some minor imperfections).

Electro OP20

Solid Koa table (simple designs on mine), high gloss, all very classy, ​​approaching 20 years, no problem wood, varnished or other materials. The instrument has aged very well.

Crate Lyrachord is really sturdy, small bumps on it have no impact, big advantage over wood.

UTILIZATION

Comfortable handle after adjustment (Allen 3/16) and mounting 11/52. on the other hand, it must adapt to the body, especially playing up.

Excellent access to acute thanks to the cutaway.

SOUNDS

I tried long ago a very good Ovation Made in USA, and I find that my "Made in Korea" does not come out bad, both in electro acoustic sounds .... rather well ... All styles go well, a guitar mat. A very enjoyable to play guitar. And honestly, it's hard to find a difference in sound quality with an American Ovation 1000 €.

The tuner Led is practical and reliable. The different settings are simple and effective, the OP20 preamp does a very good job. The feedback we hang when the volume exceeds 3/4, but good, normal game I set the pot a little less than half and no worries. This home studio, I have not tested on stage ...!

OVERALL OPINION

A slight Verily nice guitar with Ovation LooK (I like it)

Used for 350 € with his fly box Ovation (+/- € 100 new alone) difficult to find a rival ...

Origin Korea
identical to the reference Celebrity CC024 plus, the head of the same color as the body, and slightly metallic color of the most beautiful effect, mark button with diamonds
handle 20 keys
OP20 preamp with tuner excellent, beautiful and practical

Note: Be careful when you turn the preamp after changing battery (9V). Start by engaging the "Ass" (widest part right), otherwise there may be a blockage and the out is very very complicated!!

UTILIZATION

Channel pleasant to type 50's Gibson LP.
Caisse mid bowl cutaway (deeper for increased resonance)
require a small adjustment in relation to the shape of the body (a score of 6)
Access to acute rather dificult
the sound is quickly found. EQ efficient embedded

SOUNDS

Its good acoustics, but especially: a cold side there is not luterie wood connected, the sound is very good in this price range
