The Alvarez is a much better instrument!. First and most important, it has a solid spruce top while the Ovation has a plywood ("laminated spruce") top!. It's the vibrations of the top that generate the sound, and solid wood is far superior to plywood!.

Second, the Alvarez has a full size body that's full depth as well!. The Ovation has a mid-depth bowl that simply cannot generate the tone and volume of the Alvarez!. If you can try them both - or at least listen to them both - the difference will be obvious to you!. I'm sure the Ovation sounds fine plugged in but first and foremost an acoustic guitar should sound good unplugged!.

Go with the Alvarez!. Good luck!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I have an Ibanez acoustic electric- got it for about 200!.
i really like it!.

i would go with these brands-
fender, ibanez, taylor, martin and co, gibson, epiphone, squire (by fender)!.

and definitely go to guitar center and talk to and employee!. they know what they're talking about and they'll help you!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Alvarez is a much better guitar and has an awesome sound and action!. The guitar is well set!.

Ovation is awkward to play sitting down!. also, the action is not as good as Alvarez, which has a better re-sale value!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
