I have owned a few 12's -Played and liked the Ovation but in the end it was too namby pamby looking ..this one is great - I have never had an all mahogany guitar and this one is a concert size to boot with a thinner body - but it has great tone - knew I could send it back if it was not right in 30 days - but by the 2nd day I knew it was a keeper for sure - the Fender Strings took a while to break in.. Plugged in there is even more this Hellcat has to give good tone controls and volume.
