This is the sought after model 6868. Here is what ChatGPT has on this moDel:

The 1995 USA-made Ovation Elite Standard 6868 is generally more highly regarded than the Elite Special S868. The 6868 is a higher-end instrument from Ovation's peak US production period, and its reputation for quality construction, premium materials, and professional sound make it a more desirable model for many players and collectors. Ovation 6868 (1994–1999)

  • Production: USA-made during Ovation's original US production era in New Hartford, Connecticut. Ovations from this period are known for their high-quality craftsmanship.
  • Electronics: Equipped with the OP-24E or OP-24+ preamp, depending on the year. This was a top-of-the-line system for its time, designed with input from professional artists.
  • Construction: Features a solid spruce top, scalloped X-bracing, and a composite super shallow bowl back. The "6868" model number specifically denotes a shallow-bowl cutaway.
  • Sound: Praised for its warm, balanced tone and excellent acoustic projection despite the shallow body, a testament to Ovation's advanced bracing and design.
  • Prestige: As a USA-made Elite model, the 6868 has a more prestigious lineage and better reputation among Ovation enthusiasts compared to later imports. 

My information follows below:
OP-24 Electronics - amazing

Shallow Body - the best of the Body styles - easy to play

Good Condition

The Ovation Neck is a players neck like a Fender Strat or Tom Anderson / Suhr Neck Size - Very Easy to Plan

This neck could use a little adjustment - an easy feat for any luthier

There is nothing like these US made guitars - they still hold the record for amazing design

Original Case - with Stickers from one tour in South America

Original Ovation Documents
Always in Case when not Playing

I am selling my stock of Guitars and this is one that I have kept the longest - (LOL it is a bullet proof guitar) They are truly amazing

Make me an offer ... Don't let this one go by ...
