Ovation iDea CC54i 6-String Electro Acoustic Guitar, Bowl Back, Wave Port Soundholes, iDea Preamp, Satin Platinum.
The Ovation iDea is the first and only guitar to feature digital MP3 recorder/player. Integrated into the onboard Ovation preamp, the device provides a fast and easy way to record musical phrases, vocals, and commentary—even entire songs—using your guitar.
A spruce top and modified bracing gives the CC54i iDea ample projection and solid tone. Ovation’s classic Mid-Depth composite body delivers balanced acoustic tone and is comfortable to hold and play. The iDea’s slim neck has an electric-style profile, 20 hand-finished nickel-silver frets, and low factory-set action, and a cutaway insures easy access to the entire fretboard.
Wave Port soundholes set the iDea apart from Ovation’s other soundhole designs, and the "i" inlay at the 12th fret adds a distinctive touch to the rosewood fretboard.
The iDea ships with pre-installed audio lessons and jam tracks, and you can download others online here using the iDea’s USB port. Record, playback, create, and learn with this groundbreaking guitar!
The Mid-Depth bowl blends elements of Ovation’s Super-Shallow and Deep Bowl designs. Acoustically, the Mid-Depth bowl delivers impressive projection and rich tone, yet even smaller guitarists find it comfortable to hold and play.
It’s no surprise Ovation’s LX, AX, and TX models all feature a Mid-Depth body: Its proprietary Lyrachord construction and roundback design let it outperform typical “box” guitars. For decades, hardworking musicians have relied on Mid-Depth Ovation guitars to cut through the mix, whether played acoustically in a living room or run through a concert hall sound system.
The groundbreaking iDea OPI-1 preamp provides a fast and easy way to record musical phrases, vocals, and voice memos—even entire songs—using your guitar.
RECORD: Capture guitar and vocals simultaneously using the system’s saddle pickup and built-in microphone. Store over 100 minutes of MP3 files.
PLAYBACK: Listen to recorded or imported audio through headphones or guitar amp. Change playback tempo without changing pitch.
CREATE: Quickly record song ideas, licks, hooks, and rhythms. And with the OPI-1’s USB connectivity, you can upload your ideas to your computer, and then use recording software to edit and expand your creations.
LEARN: Download lessons and backing tracks. Record songs or solos from MP3 sources, slow them down, and learn them note-for-note. Equipped with an OPI-1, your guitar becomes a creative partner.
