I'm sure your new baby will sound sweet through your amp. Did you order natural or black or red?
Beware - these guys will be very willing to help spend your money and create a large guitar collection at your place... :-) |

Be sure to 'search' here for set-up instructions. Most Celebs I've tried could of used a proper set-up. Make playing that puppy as comfortable as possible!  |

Location: Campbell River, British Columbia | Welcome grecon, the only opinion that matters is the one your ears and hands give you. (it's the Ovation neck that grabs me almost as much as the volume...)
That said; one of the coolest guitars Ovation made was the Medalion and it's pure plastic & aluminum kitsh! |

Location: United States | thank's folks, and mitzdawg i ordered it in natural. i wish they had the cc24s in red but it's not available in red. i was going to get the cc24 which is available in red however the cc24s has a solid spruce top instead of a laminated spruce top which the cc24 has. i don't know if the sound is any different with a solid top vs a laminate top. both the cc24 and the cc24s are the same price ($350) so i figured i would go with the solid top instead of the laminate top. |

Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains | Welcome GC68. Popular opinion suggests that, generally speaking, the solid toppers are more likely to produce a consistently better acoustic tone that the laminated tops. However, some members like exotic wood finishes on their guitar tops which most often means not only a higher price tag, but also laminated construction. As others have said, what matters most is how it sounds to you personally. |

| Welcome to the OFC, Grecon! Congratulations on your new git! Myself, I am still searching for my next guitar.
I have a laminate guitar. One thing about a laminate is that the sound you have now is the sound that you are most likely to have for the lift of the guitar.
As much as I like the sound of my laminate, I still would go with a solid top. Depending on the tone wood, they can have a warmer tone than some laminates.
One thing I like about Ovations is that they have some of the most comfortable necks around.
