The guitar is magnificent, the finish is perfect, nothing to say. As for the sound when played open, I was surprised despite the absence of the central rosette, it sounds deep, the sound is balanced and crystalline with a nice sustain, no need for an amp at home. The string action may seem a bit high for some people, but you can remove a shim at the saddle nut. I will see about that when changing the strings. I once tried Ovations USA, I wasn't convinced given the price, with this guitar yes, it's worth it. I recommend it.
