I sold my ovation custom 2771 deep contour bowl priced 400 dollars higher than this model because the neck was too wide and I spotted imperfections with the frets and the binding, but this guitar is built better and plays easier. While the electronics are not as good as the custom model, this less expensive Ovation plays and sounds better, this is the easiest playing instrument among my 4 acoustic guitars. The mid bowl size is actually fairly shallow and very comfortable, much easier to handle than the deep bowl. I would never buy an Ovation deep bowl again, but these mid bowl guitars are just perfect, built really strong, stay in tune and sound really sweet.
