Possible intonation problems with the Ovations
I noticed a bit of an intonation problem with this model, which I got about a year ago. My guy told me that the string slot mounts on the bridge weren't spaced out (in the different directions, up/down) to really get precise intonation adjustment, and that, since these bridges are hollow, they can't just be filed to get the adjustment, so he had to do some involved modifications.… read more I tipped him good. And he said that this problem ranges across the brand. Otherwise, as far as plug and play goes, the onboard electronics and sound are great, and I love this one for playing through the amp, much less troublesome than the much vaunted Taylor ES onboard system. Too much finger noise there. I don't see this model up at Sweetwater lately, but I am remiss for not getting this out before hand.
Great Acoustic
This guitar is sleek and has attitude. I got it to play acoustic jazz and it fits the bill better than even my more expensive acoustic guitars. The op pro preamp is bad a$$. Also thanks to Ed Nystrom, my sales engineer for getting it to me quickly and making the process easy as always. Buy this guitar. You won't be disappointed.
