Description
Ovation applied 30-odd years of guitarmaking innovation to design an affordable guitar that doesn't sound like an affordable guitar. The Summit Series is proof of that. These guitars boast a bigger sound than guitars costing twice as much. In a large part that's due to the Lyrachord body - the same type of body as the U.S.A.-made body found on its upscale Ovation brothers. Its roundback shape capitalizes on the structural power of the arch freeing the insides of sound-deadening bracing that traditional-style guitars require.

"My guitar playing friends are blow away by what quality guitar this is, and at $199!"
Feature:
every thing I wanted in a guitar,espicialy the kneck, I have small hands, and it is the most comfortable and playable guitar I have played. Materials, the finish is outstanding, mine is chery red, beautiful. I was able to ajust quite easely to my liking. the preamp is not the best, but very nice for a $199 guitar.

Quality:
for $199, it is a 10 all around for qualiy, the finish isbreathtakingly beautiful, no loose parts, or blemishes. I honestly can say ther are nor worse quality to this guitar. Ithink this guitar will last for many many years.

Value:
Very much worth the price, I have friends who are suprised by the value, they all play top line other models.

Desirability:
beautiful to look at, feels great to hold and play.

Sound:
very good sound espicialy pluged in. Not as deep or rich as my other acustic,Made by Sunlte} but very nice soundin even straight accustic.

Support:
No experence, I baught mine at a dealer who mathched the price.

Overall:
I expect to behappy with this guitar for many years. The only reason I would search for anothe Ovation, is if this gets destroyed in an accident, or I pass it on to my daughter. What I like most about this guitar asides from it's looks, and excelent construction. is how playable it is, and what a nice sound it has.

Ovation Applause AE28 Customer Review
Quality:
I liked how they designed everything but would have perfered the back to be wood.

Value:
Ovation is a good brand and for 200 I say that you are getting a good guitar for the money.

Desirability:
It has a good shaped body and I love it in black

Sound:
It has a brighter sound than most acoustics which isnt a bad thing because I was actually looking for something a little brighter.

Support:
no problems what so ever

Overall:
For the price looks and everything else I would recomend this to someone who is new to guitar or need something to mess around without spending a fortune.
