Location: Australia | Well I've finally got it and believe me when I tell you that all the wonderful things that have been said about this guitar are true. I ummed and ahhed about getting one of these but I'm sure glad I did.
Rich, full, balanced, articulate and loud are all words that could be used to describe it's tone. Compared to my 1687 it clearly sounds "better".
Workmanship and playability are also first rate.
This model is without doubt the jewel in Ovation's crown.

| It's difficult to strum and hold your head in your hands at the same time. Let me know how you get on. Whatever you do, don't drop the guitar. |
