Thanks for replies to my "jazz tone" question.

Here's another one: Musician's Friend has a large Ovation assortment (as do other online dealers); which O's are super-shallow? Very hard to tell from the somewhat inconsistent writeups.

In general, can one tell SS models from their model number alone? This is the type I'm most interested in, but - ???

Thanks.

Location: Keepin' It Weird in Portland, OR		On US Ovations, if the second digit is an "8" it is an Super Shallow Bowl, or so the Ovation Website says. There is no such system for Celebrity's.

MF, and other sites are kinda undependable on their listings. A half-dozen sites (MF included) listed my GC057 as a mid-depth, which it ain't. It is an SSB.
I would recommend doing a search on any guitar you are considering, and look for side photos. That is the most dependable way. Even the descriptions can be wrong. Look for a photo of the pre-amp, and do a comparison. Make sure it is a photo of the actual guitar, not a stock photo of just the pre-amp.

For example: CC28, CC48, CS257, CC059, 1861, 4861, S861, CE868, 1869, 1868T..
You'll find one.
