Absolutely excellent condition! Top is near mint, headstock, neck, and bowl are excellent. Neck angle is excellent, and it's one of the fastest-playing guitars I've owned.
This rare Ovation is a recreation of Ovation's original 1966 guitar. This is #17 of very few made (under 50, I believe). Built in 2006. Phenomenal playability and a beautiful sounding instrument...lots of volume and warmth. It features a gloss black deep fiberglass bowl like the original 1960s Ovations, which are prized for their superior tone and volume. It was made acoustic-only because it is designed to shine as an acoustic guitar...and it does!
The Solid Spruce top is x-braced. The top is 3-piece, so there's no center-seam under the bridge. In addition to the beautiful 5-piece mahogany and maple neck (and a pretty rosewood on the headstock), the bridge is Brazilian Rosewood in Ovation's 5-point design. Very unique inlaid rosette with an "offset" grapevine design.
Original Kluson vintage tuners and hardshell case.
Action is low, nut is 1 11/16" the radius is very comfortable, and the saddle-spacing is 2.25"
Absolutely excellent condition. Some light, subtle scratches and swirls on the black bowl, top and headstock are incredibly clean.
I'd be keeping this if I didn't have another shiny bowl Anniversary model, and I've got to thin my guitar collection. I've owned many Ovations, and can attest that their fiberglass bowl is their best sounding bowl, and is louder.
