HBO-850 Classic Blue : The Ovation imitation is only OK.

Realizing that this is a budget guitar, it comes with a few issues. The quality of workmanship needs some attention there were scratches on the body around the neck on both sides of the fingerboard. There was a small gouge in the binding, the leaf design around the sound holes was lifting and had to be reapplied into place. After a good set up and adding some silk & steel strings it plays very well. Both the bridge and the nut are plastic and i replaced both with tusk. Acoustically it plays very well with a good tone. The electronics are cheap and don’t sound to great. Better to play with a mic and not use the built in pickup. Over all a good value for the money with some corrective actions by the buyer. If your handy with guitar work this is a good buy. The wood stick on designs are annoying. I would remove them but then you would have to deal with the glue residue. So they are staying on. But like i said it’s OK and looks good over all. With a good set up it now plays well too.
