Mine is a "phase 1", black with jack on the edge, jumpers and nylon Pickups "toroidal", large single with its very hot.
Mahogany body, maple neck, black textured paint, less beautiful than brilliant, but after 35 years, we see that it is aging better!
1 volume, 1 tone, 1 switch microphones and stuff like phase inverter.
Active Electronics, 2 9V batteries
UTILIZATION
Ergonomics, sitting upright lying ...
Accessibility to the 24th fret.
Its a huge "vacuum", and super trendy. Mics "toroidal" spend better distortion than the mini humbuckers following series, finally it's my view.
The tone control is very effective. At 5, it corresponds to a passive guitar at 10.
After 35 years the background noise is quite minimal, and only twice knob crachouille tone a bit. With a stroke of magic pchitt, it should disappear.
In contrast, the control of the active electronics is fairly intuitive, despite the simplicity of the controls. This is due to the vast range of sounds available. Fortunately Mr. demploi Ovation provides a guide with a small card reminders.
SOUNDS
This guitar is capable of producing sounds very similar to Fender and Gibson models of his era: television, SG, LP ... plus a very strong personality. The media are very precise and very beautiful. Typed Fender sounds are really light and bright. A delight.
An interesting feature is that the overall volume does not change when you change the microphone or tone control. A very useful feature in concert.
OVERALL OPINION
This is my second. There, I said everything!
One of the best guitars that I know just as classics, with a unique look and more.
