Ovation CC265

made in Korea
perfect finish, shrink jumbo I think, great body polish, satin finish handle perfect for walking on the handle
handle a C profile, relatively comfortable
piezo
preamp, equalizer 3 band + volume, efficient and simple with no frills, the life of the battery is greatly increased sees!
I have the model with the deeper box

UTILIZATION

round pleasant although a little thick, but that's what I preferred!
the shape of the body slightly destabilizing at first but is relatively efficient in terms of ergonomics as sitting and standing
access to acute and void because no cutaway, but these are more for guitar rhythms so ...
the sound is worthy of applause, richie sambora fan, you will find its sound
I tried several twelve strings I prefer this one, especially once connected, the microphone is effectively balance the different settings, just missing a setting can be 'presence' but I quibble!

SOUNDS

twelve strings = big mess and harmonic presence, ovation has it all!
much less of a problem with the feedback forms gills compared to normal guitars
on PA or acoustic amp sounds carefree, I even got to play on my rivera (electric model for scratching) without problem, but not distortion should not exaggerate!

OVERALL OPINION

17 years and I have never been disappointed, otherwise I would have not sold.? ...

with many short, the beef and the fire company
never encounter a problem, it ages very well
I play slide in open tuning and mainly, sometimes fingers and most common way I had never had to complain it is a very good guitar does not seem to run the streets hand, there may be a reason!


malgrés all this I do not put 10 because perfection does not exist then keep the margin!
