...In that case the CS is better. BUT! ... If you are truly considering the purchase of a 12-String, that 1538 that is up for sale would be a MUCH better guitar than either of these by far...especially for the money. It would be the Holy Grail of wood-topped Ovation 12'ers. It would also hold it's value far longer than any of the non-USA made ones. I know... the CS245 goes for about 450, and the bottom line is how much you can afford though.

The 1538 issue notwithstanding, I'd prefer the CS245, to answer the question. With the added string tension, the increased structural attributes of "no center hole" would be the "decider" (thanks, dubya)

I had a CC245, loved it, and recorded with it on my cd, Now I have an Adamas 12.

Hi Johnston,

Don't you play the 1658? it looks like a gorgeous guitar, I think if it were me I'd be playing that a lot instead of getting a celebrity....or is it for going out side gigging or something?
