Ovation acoustic clone for ridiculously cheap price

It genuinely surprises me this thing is actually for sale.

I recently saw an Ovation Celebrity clone acoustic guitar for sale. It was unbranded and literally selling for under $100 new.

Yeah, that surprised me too, so I looked into it.

First and foremost: Not electrified. If it were an actual Ovation, it would have been.

Supposedly, it had a spruce top, but as to whether the guitar actually projected or not, that I don't know. I'm guessing not.

It was full size at 41" long, but at the same time ridiculously thin (for an acoustic), as a true Ovation would be.

What surprised me most was the headstock shape. It was really close to the distinctive shape Ovation uses. Too close? Yes, and that's what surprises me more than anything else.

I seriously doubt that Ovation clone guitar was actually any good (you would honestly be better off with a Yamaha FD01S for just slightly more), but when I saw the clone I just had to write about it just for the fact that yes, it exists.

Given an Ovation Celebrity is so cheap to buy (with some at near bargain basement prices), there's really no reason to get a clone.
