This Acoustic was made, by a company called applause which is to Ovation what Epiphone is to Gibson. I can't tell how old it is, but I guess early ninties late eighties. It was made in Korea, and has 21 frets with a cutaway. It has a solid lamenated top. It has one Volume, one Tone, for the Peizo pickup. All the electronics are passive. It has a Lyrachord body (Roudback) and Oval inlays on the fretboard. The fingerboard is rose wood and the top is maple with a natural finish. It has a much thinner neck than I am acustomed to on an acoustic. I bought it used with a Hardshell case, strap, etc. the usual.

Sound : 9
It sounds great, it has a warm soft sound, but at the same time twangy, and when I play it through my Roland GS-480 it sounds amazing. It suits the Pop songs I play very nicely, and picks up where my strat leaves off.

Action, Fit, & Finish : 8
I bought it used, but it is set up reasonably well. The bridge may need to be filed down, but thats for a later date. the only flaw in this guitar is a crack in the finish below the bridge.

Reliability/Durability : 10
this thing is pretty heavy duty, and well made, the bottom strap button, is a little loose, but no big deal. It definitly does not need a backup.

Customer Support : 8
Never dealt with em

Overall Rating : 10
I have been playig for 8 years, and I own a Samick Bass, a Fender Bullet bass, strat, classical. I have a Ampeg SVT, a Roland GS-480. If this were stolen I'd climb on top of a tall building and kill all the suspicious people, then Bo buy a real Ovtion.
