Advantages: Tone and Rhythym Monster Disadvantages: Solder joints
Beautifully made guitar with classicGretsch tone. Absolutely one of the best sounding Korean made guitars I've played. Two Gretsch humbucker pickups each wired to an individual and a master volume control. There is also a three way phase/tone switch which really allows for a wide variety of tones. The carved maple top has a slight flame look to it and is exquisite. When used with a good tube amp, this thing is a rhythm monster. The one caveat I can think of is: The solder joints break down after about 6 years. I have had to have the input jack and the bridge pickup resoldered. It was an easy job and the guitar now sounds and performs like new. Four stars only because of this issue. This has five star tone and is a great sounding, exceptionally well made guitar. I will certainly buy other guitars, but will NEVER sell this ...
Advantages: Price, playability, craftmanship, live and recorded sound Disadvantages: average acoutic sound, round back guitar
The Ovation Country Artist classicalguitar is what one would expect from and American made Ovation. It is equally at home on the stage or in the studio. The acoustic sound is unbalanced, as the wound strings over power the nylon/gut strings, but plug it in and this guitar shines. Each string has an idividual peizo transducer which is coupled with a pre-amp that has a four band EQ and a notch filter to elimenate feed-back during live performances. In the studio, the signal has no noticable noise to muddy up a recording. This guitar is well made. The seka spruce top has a flawless clear finish; the head stock has side mounted ornate slot tuners which are beatiful to look at and a pleasure to use; the neck is wide and thin and very easy to finger with ample room between strings; fret work is imaculate; the intonation of the ebony ...
This was the guitar which I coveted for many years. My holy grail if you will. I picked this guitar up on eBay for $1500 and if another came up for the same price I'd buy it again.
I've used it in a Jazz band with flat wound strings and I've used it in a rock band and in both groups it's a comfortable, tone-mongering work horse. I love it. The feel, the sound, the look, it's an amazing deal for $1500. I see some around now for $2100 although I haven't seen any on eBay in a year. I'll never be able to afford the $6000 "real-deal" and as far as I'm concerned, I've got the real deal.
I'll try to get a little more specific here, yes it has a Bigsby but no, I've not had any trouble keeping it in tune. I thank the roller bridge for that. The tuning machines are the smoothest tuners I've ever used. The pickups are hotter than ...
