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 I noticed on the Ovation left handed guitar was the absence of a pick guard. If your pick attack is fierce, you could end up damaging the finish around the string area. So you can either alter your picking technique or select another instrument with a pick guard. I would not cover up that lovely finish for anything!

The sound of an Ovation left handed acoustic guitar is unequaled. Clear, precise tone is the order of the day and solid tuning keys ensure that you will stay in tune. The bridge is designed so the strings are pulled through it from the bottom. Very solid and easy to restring each time.

Over stretching the strings could cause body warping or cracking over time. Ovation electronics are hard to beat in their acoustic/electric lines. While the amplification works wonderfully (I have played mine with a distortion pedal! wow!), it also includes an equalizer that allows you to sculpt your sound to a tee. The tone retains it's acoustic characteristics and still sounds like an acoustic. When amplified, this left handed guitar can easily imitate the best electrics.

The Negative Side: The amplification modules take a 9 volt battery and they consume a lot of power. While unplugging the cord helps save the battery, it would be advisable to carry a spare one just in case!

The Ovation left handed guitar, like all Ovation guitars, has a rounded back. Some players complain that it slides off when playing in a seated position. This is easily remedied with a good strap or just practice. That rounded plastic back is what gives Ovations their signature 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, a portion of players have complained that the action is too high on this guitar. As a matter of preference with any player, you can always have the neck adjusted to lower the strings action. You have No reason not to buy this model! For playability, affordability, versatility and quality, the Ovation left handed guitar is right on target as a starter for left handed instruments. I highly recommend them as I am an owner myself (Ovation Celebrity Performer series). There is really is no better choice than one of these Ovations guitar.
