Joined: July 2011 Posts: 23 Location: Europe | I'm about to buy my first Ovation while my bro sojourns in the US. Here in Hungary they're expensive like hell... I found a Ultra 1527 at low price, what you know about that series? Or in contrast to a CC026, which 1 would you prefer, why? Thanks a lot, Patrik | ||

If you are able to compare them side-by-side it will be much more easy to decide:). If not, I will go for the Ultra. I think they are comparable guitars sharing same feature and finish. Both with laminated top, rosewood fretboard .... etc, but the Ultra would have a deep bowl vs mid-depth of the celeb 026, which produce a deeper sound. Also the bracing should be the same ; K5 or modified A. Hope this help. | ||

Joined: July 2011 Posts: 23 Location: Europe | Thanks, this Ultra looks better anyways :) But i wondered, are the Ovation bowls really model-specific? I mean I thought shallow/mid/deep bowls were optional, like finishes vary stimes. Acc. to you it seems impossible to find a mid-depth/shallow-bowled Ultra, is it right? (I prefer mid-depth yet, considering the deeper one rather less mobile [handlingeasier] than better-sounding...as for shallow, oppositely: it's rather worse-sounding than even more mobile...but rather based on logic than experience is this theory of mine... :) ...Comunque bel sito da leggere, marenostrum :) | ||

I think Ultra models are only available in the configuration deep bowl (including the most recent ones ... 2071). Have you visited Jerome website (www.ovationtribute.com)? If not, it worth more then a visit ..... | ||

Hmmm and besides i'm curious it might be an intrstin topic too: Which Ovation-models do you admire the most? Concerning me I like everything that's sthing original, unique, genuine... That's why the tune-receptacle instrument grabbed me when i 1st met it in my ex-teachers hands. The Adamas at first i considered an exaggeration, but, though i still don't completely understand it's conception, it's beauty found it's way into my heart. This lil' wonder managed: http://www.ovationtribute.com/Adamas_Models/Adamas_Custom_Order/Ada... 1 like this with a brown bowl would be my dream-guitar. But rarely do miracles befall in our times... So I'd separate Adamases and standard sound-holed guitars: Which Ovations do you like the most? (if sum1 would fain tellin me the mystery of Adamases, I'll be grateful) | ||
