Advantages: Sound, build, playability Disadvantages: Rounded back can be awkward at first.
If you have read some of my other guitar reviews, you will know im a bit of a collector of guitars. In fact, you could almost say its an obsession.
Therfore no collection would be complete without an axe from one of the world's finest and best known acoustic producers. Ovation.
I own the Ovation Celebrity Deluxe which i believe is the finest looking in the Ovation range. However, you will also know that from my other reviews, Im left handed with the guitar which narrows your choice in colour.
For a Right hander, the choices include, Black, Natural, Wine, Green and a sunburst effect top and also available in vasious mapel finishes. Im afraid to say my only choice was Black. Still it does look rather fetching and contrasts well with the Marquetry effect leaves around the multiple sound holes.
Being an Ovation, it does come ...
Advantages: very playable Disadvantages: short sustain
The Epipiphone Hummingbird is my first Acousticguitar i have not stolen off my dad. £300 is not a bad deal, seeing as the Gibson acoustics are all around £3000.
The looks and finish of this guitar are very nice, i enjoy graphics on my guitar as long as they arent too loud, and this 'mockingbird' illustration is just plain pleasent. The shape of the guitar is perfect so that it can sit on your lap for hours and not ache, partly due to its incredibly light weight.
The playability is pretty much perfect, the best you can get for a £300 acoustic, and times I thought I was playing an electric, the fretboard was just so slim, the strings were at perfect distance from the fretboard.
The sound is not as good as the playability I must admit, probably because of the lightweight body, it is not hard enough to sustain the notes for a very long ...
Ephiphone is great brand .This guitar is good for all condition .This one had the biggest "bark" and was the easiest on the fingers.
This model have a good points:
-The guitar has "bling"
-The guitar has "bark"
-The setup was perfect
-There were no flaws that I could detect to the workmanship
About the quality this is Rivals the high-priced Gibson counterpart in sound and playability.
Is this the best acoustic in the world, NO. Would you see many artist on stage at a major venue playing this thing, probably not. BUT, for only $400 , it sounds DAMN GOOD, plays extremly well, and seeing how I doubt I will ever play a major venue, who cares if major artist aren't playing one.
You must take it for your music style ...
