This guitar will never be replaced, but will be added to my collection of guitars. I may in the future will be looking for other types of guitar for playing and collecting.

Sound
I always dreamed of gettig an Ovation, well dream no more. Unplugged it has a crisp sound reproduction, amazing for a plastic body instrument. Comparison with Martin and other brand types it fits well with the competition. I also have a vintage Martin and a Alvarez acoustic guitar. The Ovation seems to be as equal in sound quality and it's worth the price. Plugged is another story, it has a deeper sound quality due to its hollow body as compared with my electric Fender Stratocaster standard guitar. It's even more awsome when it is plugged into some sound effects like the Small clone chorus or phase shifters. With the Koa body design it looks like an awsome guitar. I was 21 when I dreamed of having one, now I'm 50, I guess age doesn't matter, what a Happy Birthday.

Features
The most useful accessories that came with this guitar is the built in tuner. There is no guessing if each string is tuned properly. The only draw back is the time limit of the tuner. The tuner times out too early, you have to constantly keep switching it on inorder to complete the whole set of tuning.

Ease of Use
This guitar comes with a built in tuner, if you have the basic guitar skills your good to go right out of the box. read more

Quality
When I received this item it was in prestine condition with no flaws that I could see. It also came with batteries for the tuner.

Value
Prices that is advertised very resonable in prices over all. During my search I thought I would be paying about 2 or 3 hundred dollars more than the asking price.

The Wow Factor
What attracted me to this specific guitar is the Koa wood body design, which I feel will appreciate in value.
