Just out of curiousity, has anyone out there played with the CV68 Vipers? Are they OK? I'm gonna check out the Ovation site..they look like the EA68s..but I know they have a rosewood fretboard for starters..the prices are right..especially on Ebay:-) Thanx Dan

You get what you pay for. If you expect the CV to play, feel and sound like the EA for 1/3 the price just because it "looks the same", you'll be disappointed. If you expect it to be a great guitar for the money, you won't be disappointed. Dave

Having never played the CV, I can't vouch for it, but having had MasterTempleman's EA "live" with me for a while, I can state the the fit/finish/sound/playability are TopNotch . . .

If it were "me", I'd hold out for the US model.

Don't know if Dan is hanging around but my bidding finger is just twitchin' at this one. I've been hanging out in blues bars of late and have gotten a Jones for chambered ae guitars.

Look here

Looks aside, there's lots of differences between the USA and Korean models ... things a pro like yourself would definitely notice. Think Gibson vs. Epiphone Les Paul, American Standard Strat vs. Squire, D-28 vs. Sigma. Then again, I've heard some musicians get some incredible sounds out of lower end guitars.
