picked up a new instrument in need of repair. The price was right, so I gave it a shot, using the photos posted as a guide to what was wrong with it. The guitar arrived poorly packed, and it was a total miracle that UPS didn't destroy it in transit. The guitar needed a neck adjustment and a new nut, as the original one was not installed properly and some of the slots were filed too deep, causing buzz at the first fret. Ovation parts are not easy to come by- I have emailed Ovation customer service about ten times to request a new nut, but they are totally ignoring my emails. At this point, I am no longer confident in Ovation USA, and that's a darn shame...Ovation Standard Balladeer 2771 AX Acoustic-Electric Guitar Black
.I saw another review about buying one of these that needed repair, but then being disappointed trying to get parts. That's unfortunate.
However, if you buy one that's ready to play, you'll be happy. I was never happy with the thin sound of the Ovations. It was a personal choice. So, I never played one. I picked mine up barely used and put it to good use. It has easily played 300 shows. That being said, it performs flawlessly, the onboard tuner and EQ are great to shape the sound depending on the system and room. It has a great deep tone that, to me, was atypical for Ovations. It is now my work horse and wouldn't trade it for the world...because I can't afford the world!

.I own this and two more Ovation Products. I've put one of them in very difficult situations and it still works. When they are right they are excellent. "At this point, I am no longer confident in Ovation USA, and that's a darn shame..." Ovation Parts seem very expensive to me, I've replaced tuning keys and had a bridge replaced..$$$$$ I like what I have now but have worked on all three.
