I have had this guitar for about a year and got it in a rush when i was asked to play an acoustic gig. I regret not putting more research into the guitar because the fretboard on this guitar is somewhat difficult to play and hurts your fingers as you play (no its not because i haven't developed calluses, ive been playing for 5+ years). As far as sound, it is a 3.5/5 sounding best when plugged in. It's sound while unplugged is poor and does not easily resonate.

This is a fine sounding guitar. The built in tuner is a plus. It is similar to an old Applause that I wore out years ago. It appears to be soildly built. I use it as a backup instrument, open tuned for sliding and picking. I am an old timer and find that the action is hard on my arthritis to play in standard tuning. I haven't got the strength in my hands. I plan to keep it. It rings out clearly and is very sweet sounding.

This is my 3rd Ovation. I have a deep-bowl Balladeer, a shallow-bowl Balladeer with cutaway and the black Celebrity. I've had this instrument for a couple of months and play it regularly. It has an on-board tuner which isn't mentioned in the specs, which I consider a plus. No more hunting for my tuner. The action and sound is excellent. It has become my primary guitar and I would recommend it to anyone considering buying one. The strings that came with it were a little heavy for my liking, I prefer extra-lite (10-46). Very minor. Try it, you'll like it!

Best guitar for its price

I bought this guitar last year, thinking I'd turn around and sell it as soon as I could, but I started playing with it, and realized that this thing is the best guitar out there that you can get for $300. This thing has minor action issues that can easily be solved, and the intonation is awesome. this thing stays in tune very well, and sounds incredible plugged in. Granted you lose some of the sound because it's a super shallow bowl, but when you plug in, you aren't gonna hear the richness of a mid level anyway. Great bang for your buck!
