Question: What do you think about ovation guitars!?
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
I think they are comfortable, durable, have excellent projection & playability!.

Some will say that they are difficult to hold in your lap, well if this is an issue with you, then get a shallow depth blow body!.

The bowlbacks come in three sizes

-Deep contour (biggest, loudest, warmest can sometimes be difficult to sit with)

-Mid depth (my favorite, tone is warm and projection is fine extremely comfortable)

-Shallow (thin body, somewhat twangy sounding, not very warm and less volume, however some prefer it for comfort!.)


You can get a decent ovation for about $400!. I think they are the best acoustics however it is all a matter of how it feels to you when you play it!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

1- they can be difficult to hold on your lap, and that can get annoying
2- Plugged in is what they are famous for, these guitars sound incredible plugged in
3- they play very well, impressive action for the price
4- they are very durable
5- the natural acoustic quality on the cheaper ones are a bit twangy!.!. but other wise above par!.

-If I wanted a guitar for recording or planned on being plugged in a lot, I would buy this!.!. If I stand a lot playing, I would buy this guitar!.

I'm kind of a sitter!. I like the guitar on my lap, I don't like straps, but if your comfortable with that, it's a very very good price for the sound you are getting!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

They are good guitars, but I personally cant get past the rounded back, feels weird, and you cant play them sitting down!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
