SPOTLIGHT REVIEW
Sound: I am a beginning guitar player and have owned it for about 2 months. It has a great sound with light or extra light strings. I have played it through a Peavey Rage 158 amp and it only sounds better. The onboard tuner and electronics are great. I was surprised at how deep and rich the sound is from a super shallow bowl back. Feature: My guitar didnt include any accessories except a truss rod wrench. The factroy strings were a little rough on my fingers(medium). I recommend changing them ASAP, besides lighter strings sound better on this guitar. The onboard electronics are great. Quality: BULLETPROOF! I am hard on just about everything I own, this thing is tough. I have knocked it over several times and havent damaged it. The onboard tuner is great. If you are looking at another guitar that is a little less expensive it is worth the extra money to get the tuner. Value: YES! WORTH EVERY PENNY! When I tell people that I have an Ovation they either want to see or play it. Excellent choice for the beginner or a seasoned vet. The Wow Factor: I will never own another acoustic, love Ovations. I am going to buy a 12 string Balladeer for my next one. Overall: Quality features, tone, value, and the Ovation reputation are all good reasons for getting this guitar. My guitar instructor has a Glenn Campbell Ovation Balladeer from the mid '70s that plays and looks like it did when he bought it almost 30 years ago, although the natural top has yellowed a little. I plan on keeping this guiatr until it falls apart and I don't plan on that being any time soon. BUY IT!

Overall: I own a Ibanez AE10 that was given to me . I bought the Ovation so that I wouldnt have to lend out my Ibanez at the jams after church , I play drums . The Ovation has a different sound from the Ibanez . Acoustically it is louder . Plugged in it has a brighter sound , a little more bite . I really like this guitar . The built in tuner is a pluse . Its a little sturdier than the AE10 , you can bang on it harder than you can other guitars and not worry too much . And its easyer to change the strings on this thing since you dont have to worry about pegs . Getting a good sound pluged in is easy .I run it through a DI box into the board and run the channel flat . It has a good pre amp and its easy to get a good sound out of it . You can get several different good sounds out of it ! Good guitar for the money . Buy one !

Sound: Increased sensitivity on the interior "pickup" would help, but a well made guitar. Rates with the best in craftsmanship, and has a sound rivaling Martin, and I've owned both. The "bowl" shaped body a little difficult to get used to, but that's what makes the resonance what it is. Highly recommended.

Sound: Robust sound when playing easy or hard. Feature: Good onboard tuning device with an EQ and the ability to plug into an amp for richer sound. Quality: I got the Rose wood which I think looks great and different from the normal colors. Quality built and easy care. I do recomment a hard case.
