When ever I feel the need to get an acoustic, I always gravitate towards back Ovation because to my ears they sound better.

While reading some descriptions online, I see "Contour Mid Depth Bowl Body", "Deep contour bowl", "Mid Bowl Body" and "deep contour body". However, on Ovation's website, there is only "Contour bowl".

My question is this: are there different sized contour bowls not listed on the website or are they all rounded except for the "contour bowl" models on the website?

Location: Keepin' It Weird in Portland, OR		There is only one size contour bowl... That is the "Contour Bowl".
All the other adjectives are unnecessary.

The current offerings are Super-Shallow, Mid-Depth, Deep, and Contour bowl.

(along with the Chambered Viper body, but let's not get distracted)

So be sure to look at the photos online.
I have seen many Ovations described as having a "Contour Bowl" that Do Not.
It is such a cool sounding word that often a "Contour Mid Depth Bowl Body" will just be a regular mid-depth bowl.
Whereas a "Deep contour bowl" may really be a Contour Bowl... or Not.

Good Luck in your Search.

That helps alot!!

I will just cross reference the model number to the Ovation website instead of relying on the description of the online store.
