This mid-depth acoustic electric features that round-backed, cutaway design unique to Ovation guitars. The CC44 features mini soundholes on either side of the laminated Spruce top.

The Ovation sound. The sound that made the acoustic guitar a viable electric instrument is now within everyone's reach. Center sound-hole. Rosewood fingerboard. Built by Ovation's Pacific-based subsidiary, it benefits from the same USA-made Lyrachord body as its more upscale American brothers.

OP4BT Preamp
The OP4BT preamp offers +/-12dB control over the bass, midrange, and treble frequencies for great tonal flexibility. Its onboard tuner is easy to use and helps you stay perfectly in tune, even when using open or non-standard tunings.

Okay I guess this is where I get to be picky and say IT'S MINE!! As for a supplement, I don't think I'll need one. If I have to replace the guitar it'll probably be because I did not succeed in hunting down and half-killing the thief and heavens forbid it gets broken because the handler will also suffer broken limbs! If something else sounds as good as this (yeah I know good luck) maybe I'll consider. But I don't plan to think about that now.

Sound
THe sound is bright; you just have to listen closely to hear the lower notes but they sound good too. My Jasmine NEX Cutaway does not come close to how great this sounds. With our praise team/band this sounds great; by itself, great; in church it sounded great but I just couldn't hear the feedback of the entire group and I could only hear the guitar in it's immediate location-but that's not even the guitar or the manufacturer's fault. I tried to used my electric amp but it's meant for an electric axe. Again not the guitar's problem so no bad vibes. Overall I love it!!

Features
The tuner works fine and all I need the pre-amp for is to adjust the gain; our church's sound tech takes care of the other adjustments.

Ease of Use
Get cactus picks (search the web or ask the purhcasers to start stocking them-sorry can't refer here) and whether it's thin through heavy, the guitar sounds full.

Quality
The only thing I had read more to do before the presentation to the public was change the strings to get rid of the vibration. That's all.

Value
This is worth every penny they ask for it!

Manufacturer Support
Just went online to register the guitar. I think this will be very dependable and it will give me no problems.

The Wow Factor
It does look good but I got this strictly for it's purpose; being able to play in church and not require an additional amp for my other guitar. Plus I was immediately pleased by the great sounds the Ovation made.
