Ovation design sounds GREAT to people standing out in front of the guitar, right in its projection field.

Two things made me sell my Ovation Adamas guitar, though:

*The design projects the sound way out in FRONT of the player when attempting to play in acoustic mode. Not a problem when amplified via he internal pickup, as monitoring can override that, but when playing the darn thing acoustically with no small room wall to reflect the sound back at me, I found it hard to hear myself. Thing sounded great out in front though. But if I can't get that kind of intimate feedback from the acoustic guitar, it made the playing of the thing a bit rough, for one thing I would find myself compensating for that lack by strumming harder to play loud enough for ME to hear myself. Not cool for dynamics.

*The other problem I had was that round back.

Trying to play while seated and without a neck strap, you can't easily let go of the guitar without it trying to roll off your lap and onto the floor. That got old.

That said, the guitar recorded like a dream...
