Best in this range.
Quality:
Very good quality and the thing stays in tune.
Sound:
It sounds pretty darn good. Ovation's do lack the "wood" tone but they make up for it in other areas and it does sound great.
Reliability:
I think the construction of this guitar is very solid.
Overall:
It's an Ovation so the low strings don't register the same tones as a full body wood guitar wood. However the construction and playability are top notch. This is the best sounding 12 string in this price range. I bought the Dean first and was extremely disappointed.
Playability and Feel:
This thing is fast and easy.
Tone:
Tone is very good. My friend has some high dollar Martins and although this doesn't have the same Cadillac feel it can definitely hold its own sound wise.
Finish:
Looks great but sounds better!
Action:
The action is a little high but definitely acceptable.

I bought this to match another guitar and it is near identical! much closer than I anticipated an flawless! :)

My 2nd Ovation (my 1st 12 string)
Quality:
Made well. Seems to be dependable.
Just got it today.
Reliability:
Will find out.
Overall:
I am pleased with the packaging and care taken to deliver the guitar. I do like Ovations.
Playability and Feel:
Feels good for a 12 string. Will get use to the bigger neck.
Neck came straight even after tuning with the on board tuner. I guess that I can take out a shim under the bridge to bring the action down a bit but don't want to mess around right now. Will send it out to let the professionals do that. It is set to standards and can deal with that. Played a little "Natural Science" (Tidal Pools) by Rush and very pleased with the ease.
Tone:
Plugged it in and fell in love with the fullness of the sound.
Finish:
Beautiful finish all around.
Action:
Very Good overall (read above)
