The Ovation CC54i iDea MP3 guitar ushers in a cool era of playability and innovation. Now you can play, write AND record all at the same time. You can even play along with the included jam tracks and lessons, or add your own tracks via USB! If you don’t own a Computer, you can use the guitar‘s aux input jack to connect external devices, such as CD players, to your computer and record tracks from there. The CC54i iDea MP3 guitar is the first acoustic guitar to feature a built-in MP3 recorder. Rec

Cool tool for songwriters and woodshedders,
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.

|You can’t go wrong with an Ovation,
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!
