Great looking guitar. Electronic are all original and never had a problem. The fret board is maple, and it has a more mellow sound. Very basic, but takes care of teaching on the road, playing out in any situation I may be in.

Sound : 9
I am a 47 life long guitar player that has been in many situations-Weddings, big band (Freddie Green, musicals clubs, acoustic jams-Styles-jazz, latin, finger style, folk, folk rock (loud with band) and classical. I owned this guitar for 12 years and would never sell it. My ovation is going through a Ultra Sound amp or my Trace Elliot. I have also gone direct through the board. The beauty of this guitar is that in a rock situation, it's easy to manage on stage to get a close or acceptable sound and get that loud acoustic sound. Also, I always refer to my ovation as the Strat of guitars. It's versitile for many situations like a Strat and rhythmic cut. To me there is nothing like using a mic to capture an acoustic sound unless you have the big bucks. What I don't like is battery location deep in sound hole.

Action, Fit, & Finish : 9
I bought this guitar used and never made any adjustment. I love the action amplified or without.

Reliability/Durability : 10
This guitar has been a work horse for me on gig and serves as my main acoustic guitar. Very durable!

Never needed support.

As a teacher (public school music teacher), working musician....... This guitar gets it done for a great price. If you find one, you will be glad if you grab it with no regrets.

This is a 1987 Legend acoustic/ electric, deep bowl, cutaway, with the op 24 eq system. Top is spruce, fretboard is ebony, bridge is walnut, with the usual 5 piece maple/ mahogany neck. This one is the natural finish. Has gold ovation/ schaller machines. The neck has a very nice "soft v" shape to it, which I like much better than the fat "c" shape of the new LX series.

Sound : 8
Sound unplugged is OK, but much better plugged in to my Crate acoustic (CA 125DG) Ovations electronics are good quality & do the job. Has a unique amplified sound, unlike any other acoustic. Listen to Paul Simon in the Concert @ Central Park & you'll see what I mean.

Action, Fit, & Finish : 9
I got it used, and it needed a lot of tweaking to get good action, but is great now. Fit and finish, as well as all materials are top quality, good ole "made in USA"

Reliability/Durability : 10
These are tanks. You would have to try, to break it.

Customer Support : No Opinion
never dealt with them

Been playing 35 yrs. or so. I have owned Martins, Gibsons, Taylors, Guilds, Yamahas, Blueridge, and lot of others -plus a ton of electrics. For the money this guitar is hard to beat. I don't like having 2 grand or more tied up in a guitar -it's just not worth it. There are plenty of good axes out there for under $500.00. This is one. --And probably about the best Ovation in this price range as well. If you're going to play much unplugged, be sure & get the deep bowl, and don't bother with Ovations that don't have electrics.
