UTILIZATION

The handle is nice and fast, very close to electric. access to
Treble is very easy (although I do not often go lol).
It is very light.
The sound is excellent whether it be connected or disconnected. The preamp allows a lot of adjustment and fine tuning.
Ergonomics are good, the rounded back can be disconcerting at first, but the use of the strap sitting can overcome this little problem.
I have no problems with, after seven years together nothing to report, she just made a short stay at the luthier for a routine visit.

SOUNDS

Although primarily intended more rock and folk, she is very versatile and adapts to all styles, I also play the blues and that makes ...
I live in the branch mixer and sound "ovation" is excellent.

OVERALL OPINION

It's been seven years since I bought in a shop in Pigalle in 5200 Frs and I do not regret my purchase.

The price / quality ratio is excellent. I have not tried the other model, I cracked on her beauty, mine is natural color, and after a short essay she convinced me.
I had a test in ovation custom stroll of the 80 having a top side, and well, the CP-247 is better in all areas, round, sound, etc ... This is mainly due to the 20 years between them.
I also tried a takamine TAN10C, although more expensive Takamine, these two guitars playing in a very short and I keep choosing the ovation, but this is only a matter of taste.

Here, if you ever have the opportunity to try, do not hesitate and you will understand why I do not want to part with it, finally, for those who love the sound ovation of course!
