Sound
:

I play pop and rock. It has extremely rich harmonics in the highest frequencies. It sounds as nice the Ovation I tried in the store. The tone is balanaced and full. It sounds great with and without an amp. It has 4 EQ bands, so it has quite a bit of shaping control. The pickup and the EQ are excellent! Excellent for recording and performances.
Action, Fit, & Finish

The set up was good. The action was low. It's great right out of the box. The bridge was properly routed. I carefully examined at the guitar, it does not contain any flows. Beautiful finish and easy to play.

It looks very durable, considering the fact it has solid spruce top, mahogony sides and back, rosewood bridge and fretboard. The strap buttons are solid. It also came with 10 years warranty.

Overall Rating

I have been playing for 4 years. I have a Germlin acoustic and a Squier strat. If it were stolen or lost, I would buy it again. I love the sound and how it looks. It's a full size cutaway guitar. The only thing is it's kind of big for me to play, since I'm only 5'3. However, I'm sure I'll get used to it. This guitar sounds great and better than other guitars at this price range. The original price is $259.99, but I bought it for $179 on ebay This is a great value.
