hate to burst your bubble ace... a friend of mine has a black ovation..
plays really really nice but plug it in and it sounds very thin and tinny. the EQ doesn't even help. He had to go buy a dean markley pro mag gold and that still has a funny sound.

I have an acoustic Takamine GS-330S with a cedar top, sounds great.. I bring it up because I was too cheap to spring for a Seagull acoustic electric. That thing sounded awesome!!!! looked great, sounded great but it was $470usd plus tax would have put me over th $500 mark... don't get me wrong, I LOVE my takamine but if I had to do it again, I'd have waited and gotten the seagull.... But I do have to tell you that they only come in the natural colors or a sunburst which is rather nice.
