Ovation Celebrity Tradition CS-24C-4-G

A well balanced sound and a lovely comfortable neck are the main features of this instrument. Not too bright and not too boomy it hits the Goldilocks zone for me. The body is rather bulky but without that the sound would suffer. My two gripes are that the tuner is rather hard to switch off and the machine head buttons still had some rag plastic from the moulind sprue which had to be filed off. A two minute job which should have been done at the factory. Other that that I find it very pleasant with no niggles that would lead me to chage it in the future. The pre-amp is decent with only a little hum. When recording acoustically and singing it does not drown out my voice but blends very well. It keeps its tuning and the intonation is spot on.
