Feature:
i love the simplicity of the electronics but what throws be off is the tuner built-in. it works properly but its kind of hard getting your sound from being flat or sharp. maybe a little practice will solve the problem. other than that, vol. control, mid equalizer, treble and bass adjustment are the main features on this guitar. It might not sound like a lot but honestly thats all you need.

Quality:
it looks awesome. depending on your taste you will find different colors attractive but i have it in a natural color. Its almost like a vanilla color. the guitar honestly people is built like a tank. i've taken it almost everywhere from camping to the desert, in the forest, on the back of a vehicle for 3 days, heat and cold, etc. and it still plays just as well as it did first day i purchased it. This i believe is that ovation quality mark. You can take take this baby to war and i think you'll be missing a few parts rather than the guitar.

Value:
this guitar i bought for 300 dollars and i was amazed at the quality for the price.

Desirability:
i think it looks sexy.

Sound:
i love the sound of this guitar. its a distinct sound that is kind of glossy at the high notes, then its warm when played by the head of the guitar. factory fitted srings make it sound okay...i was somewhat dissapointed at first but when i gave it some elixers(preferably medium gauge) i was stunned at the improvement. as for when its plugged in...its funny because you can have shoe-laces on this guitar and it will sound amazing either way on an amp. this is where it shines.

Ease of Use:
its nice as far as the neck size, and the cut-away makes it easier to locate the frets far down the neck. The strings are a bit higher above the fret-board and especially when your playing in standard its a little bit more difficult to bar, etc. i tune it in drop d so over-all its at ease. and you really cant adjust the neck either =/ i guess its that well rounded guitar ya know? other than a few milli-meters away from the fret-board its beautifully made.

Support:
i haven't had the means to call them. Backed by a 2 year warranty it seems nice.

Overall:
it doesnt get a ten because its not perfect. nothing is...but it sure as hell gets close to it. its better to dish out 300 bucks on this guitar than fork over 1 or 2 grand on another guitar that sounds a bit better. the only other guitar that i would buy over this one that is price worthy is the graphite/carbon-fiber guitar by Rainsong. but thats 3000 bucks so screw it lol
