This guitar will travel with me until it just can't anymore, and as it has proven to be very durable, I expect it to last until my traveling days are through.

This guitar is irreplaceable. In between the time i had my first one in black, i had bought a Fender Stratacoustic. The Strat i ended up giving to a friend, since the sound was nothing like that of my Ovation. Luckily i was able to find another Trekker, so i bought the one in wood color. If i were to find another in black, i would buy that. The sound is unique, and other guitars just don't cut it.

I SHOPPED AROUND A LOT FOR A TRAVEL GUITAR LOCALLY. PRICING RANGED FROM $100.00 TO $500.00. I JUST WANTED SOMETHING TO TOSS IN THE CAR AND PLAY IT WHEN I WANTED. I WOULD COMPARE THIS GUITAR TO THE $500.00 MODELS I PLAYED. I WOULD NOT CHANGE ANYTHING ON THIS GUITAR. IT IS EASY TO PLAY AND SOUNDS GREAT.

It takes this travel guitar to demonstrate the relative irrelavance of the materials used in the back and sides of a guitar. The superiority of bowl backs in guitar construction is also put beyond doubt; there is not a single all wood guitar that can touch the musical richness, clarity and volume produced by the CC012, and I have played most of them. The only travel guitars that come close to this performance are the composite guitars, like Emerald or Rainsong, but they cost over four times as much.The excellence of bowl backs was never doubted by the makers of the guitar's antecedents, the oud makers of the Arab world who passed their skills onto the lute makers of the western world (wherefore luthiers). Bowl backs ruled ('rocked' was not a familiar word in in those times) for thousands of years. The strength advantage of the lyrachord is incidental, but invaluable in a travel guitar. As if this weren't enough, you also get the buttery smoothness of an Ovation neck.
