Location: On The Fringe Of Ground Zero | Are there any other 2071 Ultra owners here? If so, does the rossette fit flush with the sound hole or does it rise above the sound hole? :confused: Thanks! :cool: |

Location: Tennessee | They're the stick-on rosettes. Lots of Ovation models, including US ones, have them. My JL3 has one. It doesn't imply any inferior quality in workmanship or sound. Enjoy your Ultra ... you've got a nice guitar! |

Location: Boise, Idaho | I read a short blurb, maybe in the Ovation book, about how those actually cost more than other rosettes. I thought the one on the Ultra that I saw looked just like the one on my Custom Legend. |

Location: On The Fringe Of Ground Zero | I purchased the Ultra online and I couldn't tell if the rossette was flush or not.I didn't give the rossette much thought until I put back into the case last night. The Ultra sounds as goods as it looks. Thanks again! |

| The raised rosette is an Ovation signature feature. On the blingy models the oak leaf pattern is clear and they put abalone underneath for a stunning look, like on this 1869 that I no longer own:
Another advantage to the raised rosette is that it (usually) deflects the pick from hitting the wood, so you don't need a pick guard that hides the beauty of the wood. |
