Ovation Standard Left Hand Guitar
For a start, the Ovation Celebrity Standard left handed acoustic/electric guitar is good with the honey burst finish. For aesthetic purposes, it is absolutely beautiful with a bright orange/yellow color at the center and a darkening fill to a red on the sides.
The first thing one notices on the Ovation left handed guitar is the absence of a pick guard. If you have a lot of movements on your pick attack, you could end up damaging the beautiful finish around the area of the string. If you would not like to cover up that lovely finish, you can either alter your picking technique or select another instrument with a pick guard.
With clear, precise tone and solid tuning keys, it ensures you stay in tune with the sound of an Ovation left handed acoustic guitar which is second to none. Very solid and easy to restring each time, the bridge is designed so the strings are pulled through from the bottom.
Negative: The strings could cause body warping or cracking over time, because of over stretching with no adjustment. In their acoustic/electric lines, Ovation electronics are hard to beat. The amplification works wonderfully (I have played mine with a distortion pedal! wow!), because it also includes an equalizer that allows you to sculpt your sound to a tee. The tone and sounds are characteristics of an acoustic. This left handed guitar can easily imitate the best electrics even when amplified.
Downside: The amplification modules take a 9 volt battery and consume a lot of those batteries and it is also hard to open. Unplugging the cord helps save the battery, but I would advise you to carry a spare.
Like all Ovation guitars, including the Ovation left handed guitar, it has a rounded back. While some players complain that it slides off when playing in a seated position, it can be easily remedied with a good strap and practice. That rounded plastic back is both a trademark and also what gives Ovations their special sound.
With a slim neck, the Ovation left handed acoustic guitars are thinner than almost any acoustic you will have ever play with. It is easy to play, just like you would your axe and lay down yourself to a chunky rhythm line. With practice you will get used to, but it is well worth it.
Do note, some players have said the action is too high on this left handed acoustic guitar. As any player knows, this is a matter of preference and you can always have the neck adjusted to lower the action on the strings. No reason not to buy one! As a starter left handed instrument, the Ovation left handed guitar is right on target for affordability, playability, versatility and quality. For lefty players, there really is no better choice than one of these Ovations. I highly recommend them as I am an owner myself (Ovation Celebrity Performer series).
