chris on 11/29/2010	I am thinking about buying this guitar. Yes or No?
alex on 11/13/2010	Ovation guitars are made in the USA, some of their bottom line series are made in China and Korea, which are usually very cheap, from 200 to 700 bucks, if you want a USA made Ovation it will set you back more than 1300 dollars, some of them are in the thousands, like the Adamas with carbon top; so for those people who complain about quality from Ovation, you are right; their cheap guitars are cheaply made but their bowls are still made in the USA; I have played Ovation guitars since I started playing 27 years ago and I also have tried other brands, Gibson, Epiphone, Fender, Takamine, Washburn, Ibanez, and Yamaha, and I always go back to my trusty Ovation; the neck is almost like an electric guitar, it's fast, thin, smooth and there is nothing like it. To lower the action you don't even have to mess with the truss rod, all you do is take the shims out from under the bridge and it is perfect, no buzzing, no noise, fast as my Jackson; and the preamp is awesome, no feedback at all when plugged in. If you want to know what I mean, go to your local dealer and play a high end Ovation, the ones with price tags above one thousand dollars; they are awesome and I will not play anything else.
bernardo on 09/26/2010	i just bought a ovation and the preamp is turning off by itself all the time, i will return and never buy from ovation again!
Mickey C on 04/05/2010	Just purchased one...looking forward to its arrival. I have a few hand held devices to capture that moment but they always are are a hassle to set up...so I'm hoping this might do the trick....seems like a great iDea
MJ on 11/11/2009	bought the OPL-1 preamp for my ELITE T Model 1778T-RF - tuner does not work - ovation support is non existent - will NEVER buy another ovation product again.

lemc on 08/25/2009	The quality on the crasmanshift of this guitar is really bad (it is made on China)!!! When i bought mine at Best Buy, i had to returned it; it looks like one of those $20.00 guitars hence i urge you to buy and support only AMERICAN GUITARS!
Emilee'sMom on 02/16/2009	Awesome concept! and I was very pleasantly surprised by the price!
Eggyweggy on 09/19/2008	I know - it's a fantastic, er, idea! Can't wait to try it out. I often have littel phrases or chord progressions pop into my mind but they vanish before i record them,
Monk on 09/18/2008	I am surprised that no one has thought of this before. Brilliant.
