Location: Canada | What's the difference between the OP24+ and the OP 30?? Besides the built in tuner, does the OP30 perform any better? |

Location: Columbus, Ohio | I have a Celebrity with the OP11, what is involved in an upgrade to one with the tuner? |

Location: Los Angeles | I have compared the two, and the tuner in the op30 is much more responsive |

Location: Scotland | The main difference apart from the look is that they've chaged the frequency centres of the eq . The Op24 was bass 80hz, treb 10KHz,
mid400/shift 1k. The 0p30 is bass 60hz, which strikes me as a little low for a standard-tuned guitar, treble 15Khz and mid 450hz/shift 970Hz. |

Location: SoCal | The other difference is that Ovation now has modular electronics in their guitars, making upgrades much easier. I would assume that they are planning to build all future electronics in this configuration in an attempt to induce people with older electronics to upgrade easily. |

Location: Queens, NY | One advantage of the OP30 is that if the unit turns out to be faulty, you can just pop in another one. Not so easy to do with the OP24+.
However, the spring loaded battery box on the OP24+ made changing the battery a snap. With the OP30, it's a little more involved. You have to take the unit out, open the battery door and attach the battery to that wired battery clip. (Am I the only one that hates those things?) |

Location: Canada | The changing of the preamp may be easy but what about the actual pickup? It remains the same. |
