 You can't go wrong with an Ovation May 23, 2010
J. M. Mosquera (New York City)
I purchased this on Amazon about a month ago. Its sound is good acoustically, but where it really shines is in the integration of the mp3 player recorder. It is really easy to use and the sound quality is amazing. Instant feedback helps you to improve your playing. It works well with an amp too. I bought a small fender amp to accompany it. I have had another ovation for over 20 years and it sounds as good today as the day I got if. You really can't go wrong with an ovation!

that they would get someone to do the video who actually HAS musical talent. Seems like a stupid combination to me, but hey, if it works for you...
Cool tool for songwriters and woodshedders April 12, 2010

My iDea guitar arrived 3 days ago, and out of the box, the guitar's fit and finish was really solid, the unplugged tone was adequate, with a surprisingly amount of volume and bass response, and the playability was just "ok" with action a little high for my taste.
Important as these things are, it's the built in MP3 player/recorder/preamp that I'm really interested in, and like any red blooded man, I dug into this thing without the aid of instructions.
The interface is pretty simple to operate considering the number of functions it controls, though the little joystick controller feels like I could crush it with my thumb. That said, my cellphone feels the same and in 2 years of use, I haven't broken it yet, so who knows? The loop feature is a little imprecise, but it works for snagging a phrase and repeating it ad infitum.
I'm interested in this guitar as a songwriting tool, practice tool, and possibly a performance tool, though my initial impression is that it will be better suited for the first 2, as I've already used up 25% of the memory just farting around with it, so it probably doesn't have capacity to hold several sets of backing tracks.
All in all...I like it. A really useful tool for songwriting and woodshedding.
