Ovation CS24-4 | Solid Spruce Top
According to Ovation, this CS24-4 features a solid spruce top. It's finished au naturel in clear gloss, something which offers greater protection than the "open pore" finishes that are all the rage nowadays. Top binding is single-ply ivory, and purfling, three-ply black/ivory/black. Also deserving special mention is the lovely soundhole rosette, comprising concentric ivory, black and pearloid circles.

Ovation CS24-4 | Ovangkol Bridge
The ovangkol bridge is unfinished, and is secured to the top with a combination of glue and two strategically-placed metal bolts. It's not that obvious at a glance, but closer inspection reveals two small circular ovangkol covers. These covers obviously hide the heads of the bolts. And, as this bridge is top-loading, there is no need for bridge pins. Strings are loaded from the back of the bridge, much like how one would string a stopbar tailpiece on a Les Paul or SG.
