Ovation Applause Balladeer AB24CII-CED Mid Depth Classical Guitar, Natural Cedar

I think this is a great beginner/intermediate nylon string guitar. The steel string Ovation Balladeer I’ve had since 1974. It still sounds great. Fair price for what you get.

Fantastic value! I tuned it and it was ready to play right out of the box. Great Sound - perfect condition.

Pickup/Preamp system: 8/10. Lacks rich bass tone. Build quality: 9/10. Would probably crack only slightly if dropped. Initial playability: 8/10. Action high but good bridge geometry. Came with decent strings. Tuners were very smooth to turn and easy to hold. No sharp edges. Unplugged tone round, fairly balanced with emphasis on mid-high range. Overall, great deal for +-$350. Versatile, easy to play, decent materials. {{8.5/10}}

An unbelievable price for one of the best guitar brands known to mankind (or womankind). I'm good at tuning a guitar and didn't read too carefully, so was pleasantly surprised to find the built-in tuner (great for repeatedly tuning while new strings are stretching). I can't say enough good things about this beauty!

Easy to play . Very mellow sound. Stays in tune all the way from E to E. Love the cutaway!

Be aware this guitar does not have a truss rod my neck had a bow in it and there is no adjustment, shame on them, even cheap 100. electrics have a rod. I sent it back. Do not buy this guitar.

This guitar should be fine for a beginner.
