MGR/Dale Kuhlman « Ovation CS-257 »
Published on 05/18/04 at 15:00I am an Martin Accoustic Fan ( I own four).
I stopped at a local Music Store and saw a Ovation CS-257 (Quilt Cherry Burst $520.00)
I bought it for it's "Appearance"
The action was "high" (7/64" @ 12th), but removed the "shim" at the bridge and "tweek'd" the truss rod and the action is now close to 2/32nds. It plays easy and sounds great - "Super piece of lumber" !
Considering the price, the guitar is "out standing".
The "built-in" tuner is another plus.
I do do not dis-like anything about this guitar
I feel the construction is as good as "high end" accoustic's I own.
For anyone who is an accoustic player, this guitar is perfect to own as a "change of pace, sound and feel".
I am considering on purchasing another different model Ovation.
