zZounds Gear Experts Say...
Super Shallow Cutaway. Spruce top.

Ovation applied 30-odd years of guitarmaking innovation to design an affordable guitar that doesn't sound like an affordable guitar. The Summit Series is proof of that. These guitars boast a bigger sound than guitars costing twice as much. In a large part that's due to the Lyrachord body - the same type of body as the U.S.A.-made body found on its upscale Ovation brothers. Its roundback shape capitalizes on the structural power of the arch freeing the insides of sound-deadening bracing that traditional-style guitars require.

Body Type: Super Shallow Cutaway

Top: Spruce

Scale Length: 25-1/4 in.

Nut Width: 1-11/16 in.

Frets: 20

Preamp: DJ-2

I expect to behappy with this guitar for many years. The only reason I would search for anothe Ovation, is if this gets destroyed in an accident, or I pass it on to my daughter. What I like most about this guitar asides from it's looks, and excelent construction. is how playable it is, and what a nice sound it has.
