1980s France 2 pages

This is a two-page French-language gear review ('Banc d'Essai') of the Ovation Ultra Series 1512 electroacoustic guitar, published in SONO Magazine issue No. 71. The article discusses how Ovation began manufacturing more affordable models in South Korea to offset rising prices in France, with the 1512 retailing at 4500 French Francs. The review covers the guitar's construction, neck, body, electronics, and sound, concluding with a score of 85 out of 140 and noting it offers a good neck, good Ovation tone, and a much more accessible price point.
