Price: $799.50
Customer Review: An acoustic that rocks
The short and sweet version is: the CK047 is a good guitar under any measure; I added the iDea retrofit preamp, and now I have MP3 recording (high quality) and playback (great for jamming!) right on the guitar. I have played for 20 years, and owned a few guitars. I believe I can notice subtleties that differentiate good guitars from plain average. In fact, I went to the store to check an Ovation iDea, but was immediately disappointed... I had never seen a $600 guitar so poorly finished, as the iDea was (what a flop, Ovation, what a flop...) Anyway, that is when I discovered the CK047. I compared the CK047 against a dozen other guitars on the store. The acoustic sound is superior to many brands. This guitar, however, does not have the best acoustic performance; for instance, Taylor is far superior to Ovation... But when it comes to plugged sound, nothing beats an Ovation. Koa wood gives a rich sound that is not very bright (something totally desirable when you amplify). I bought this guitar as a practice instrument for normal wear and tear, while I keep the high-end guitars for recording and occasional jamming. The tuning pegs are standard Ovation (very precise, keeps it tuned). The finish on the top is very well done; incredibly beautiful, and honors the natural warmth of the wood. This guitar is *very* precise: the first harmonic on every fret matches perfectly the note 12 frets below. The action is low and smooth. Now, a note about origin, as it seems to be a matter of interest: The CK047 is Korean. It does not have the aura that accompanies American-made guitars, but the finish is just as high-quality as you would expect from an American guitar (clarification: Celebrities are mid-level models; only high-end models are made in the USA... had I had extra$1,000 I would have bought an American Ovation). Ovation has been making guitars in Korea for a while, and it shows. I compared this guitar against other Chinese celebrities (the koa Celebrity is only made in Korea, though), and I have to acknowledge that Chinese models' finish is of the lowest quality. Warning: AS OF 2008, STAY AWAY FROM CHINESE OVATION CELEBRITY MODELS... they are hit or miss (mostly miss). Out of six Chinese Ovation Celebrity guitars I compared against the CK047, only one had decent finishing and sound. No doubt the quality will eventually increase, but in the meantime...
Customer Review: A Visual Feast
In my opinion this is the most beautiful acoustic-electric guitar made (including Ovation's own SE model). People rave about the stunning grain of the koa. Sounds good unplugged. Sounds absolutely amazing through the amp. I play a finger-picking/strumming Jimmy Buffett-style and believe that this is the perfect guitar for me. Ask someone at Sam Ash or Guitar Center or Musician's Friend. It is available through these retailers even if it is hard to find it on their websites. I expect to be playing this guitar until my fingers stop listening to my brain. I totally love it.

I am a new guitar player and this guitar makes it easier for me to fret the more difficult chords due to the slim neck and very low string action. Of the three guitars I use to practice, this one is my favorite. It is physically beautiful and sounds great. My boyfriend, who has been playing for decades, loves to play it, too.

Customer Review: Outstanding guitar!
I have been a guitarist for over 24 years now, and I have owned this model guitar for nearly 6 years now, and it always amazes me that an acoustic guitar can keep playing this well after constant use. First let me say that the neck is hard as a rock! I have NEVER needed a truss-rod adjustment yet! The fretboard is similar to a fast neck that you might find on a top notch electric guitar...It's very fast, very thin, and super easy to play on. Great for the lead/solo player, as well as any other style of music you're after. Also features an onboard pre-amp & EQ, and when plugged-in, this baby produces some wonderful tone. Stunning! About the only drawback to Ovations, is the fact that they feature the rounded plastic back. The fact that it's a composite material is NOT the problem...The problem is that the guitar sometimes has a tendency to slip off your leg, if you're not paying attention. It's just one of those "little annoyances" that come with Ovation ownership. :) The only other drawback, (and it's a very MINOR one) is that this model is a shallow-back. Meaning it's not very deep, and it doesn't throw the sound too far. It really needs to be plugged in to an amp to show it's true potential. Again, even if played unplugged, it's still a fine guitar, and it's definetely plenty loud enough for home use without an amp. Anyway, even with those 2 minor annoyances, I'm keeping mine until hell freezes over, and I'm buying another Ovation soon (12-String).......That's how much I love these beauties! Bottom Line: If you want a fine American made acoustic guitar (that you can actually afford), that sounds, plays & looks gorgeous, this one's for you!

Customer Review: A lot of details = a guitar with personality
Nice guitar! I fell in love with this guitar when I first saw it. Sound is nice although it may not sound as 'big' as some Jumbos. Easy action, easy to play. Records very nicely. Stereo output jacks are a plus. The built in tuner is great as I can tune anywhere regardless of background noise. Quality Grover tuners, moustache bridge, plus many other small details that give this guitar personality.

Customer Review: SX DG160VT REVIEW
I purchased my guitar from Rondo Music through Amazon. The people at Rondo are good people. My guitar arrived with bad strings. I notified Rondo and they apologized and sent me new strings free of charge and shipping right away. The guitar finish attracts attention. Almost everyone that sees the guitar compliments me on how nice the guitar looks. The guitar doesnt sound as good as my friend's $350 yamaha, but the SX DG160VT guitar does sound good and is easy to play.I paid $65 for this full size electric acoustic guitar and I am very happy with my purchase! Good luck to anyone trying to find a better guitar for the money

Luna Oracle Zen Acoustic/Electric Guitar

Luna's "Zen" awakens players to their own true nature. The maple fingerboard is inlaid with Rosewood calligraphy that reads "Wisdom, Beauty, Truth, Courage, Grace, Peace and Love". Calligraphy ensconced on the heel cap reads "Light" which is intrinsic to Luna's mission. The sound hole is surrounded by a Rosewood inlaid "Bagua" against a solid Sitka spruce top. Bagua is a fundamental philosophical concept in ancient China generally represented with an octagonal diagram with one trigram on each side. The concept of bagua is applied not only to Chinese Taoist thought and the I Ching but is also used in other domains of Chinese culture such as fengshui, marial arts, navigation, and so on.

An oracle was a priest or priestess acting as a medium through whom advice or prophecy was sought from the gods in classical Greek antiquity. A person or thing regarded as an infallible authority or guide on something.

Following Luna's innovative tradition, The Oracle Series foresees the future of guitar architecture and takes solid top guitar ornamentation into uncharted territory.
