UTILIZATION

For an acoustic guitar, it is very very easy to access the top notes and last frets. The hand fits easily and perfectly in the les paul style slot. For the strange shape of the sound hole, it makes an unbelievably unique and sweet sound, with no effort or modifications. The preamp is awesome, and has many built in settings that can come in handy (tuner, looper). Also, the guitar is very light weight and extremely comfortably while playing.

SOUNDS

From this guitar, all you get is a perfect, clean sound. What i love most is the finger picking. It makes such a beautiful sound, its crazy. For the price, it is a must have.

OVERALL OPINION

What i like most about this guitar is the shape and look of the body. For an acoustic guitar, its very unique and quite different. If you love Ovation guitars, then this is a must have for your collection. It looks great, sounds amazing, and can absolutely do more than any other acoustic (and most electric) guitars. Honestly, for the price, i don't know why you wouldn't buy it. This guitar is going for around $250 i believe. It really should be selling for at least $1000. My only wish with this guitar is that i had bought a second one!
