What's the deal with refurbished?

This instrument is stamped "used" on the back of the headstock and given a new serial number by the manufacturer-authorized refurbisher. Why? It was deemed to have a cosmetic imperfection or to need a repair. Check the description to see exactly why this instrument is considered refurbished. We scrutinize every instrument and pass along all information from the refurbisher so that you know exactly what you are getting. These are like new with little or zero play wear!

The Ovation D scale guitar is a true one-of-a-kind. It’s not your standard baritone. Tuned a full step lower to D-G-C-F-A-D, this guitar will fit easily into any style of music. Just capo the 2nd fret and you’ve got a standard tuned acoustic. Take off the capo and you’ve got a whole new instrument. The D scale is topped off in pure Ovation style with an OP Pro preamp and is mated with the Ovation high output pickup, which provides even string-to-string output with any string gauge and any open tuning.

This particular instrument has a scuff in the finish on the headstock, and a few minor white scuffs in the finish on the back near the lower bout. These finish imperfections are documented in the photos and aside from what we have listed here, this guitar is in mint condition.

OP-Pro Preamp: Designed in collaboration with jazz guitarist Al Di Meola and acoustic rocker Melissa Etheridge, the OP-Pro combines state-of-the-art audio quality with exclusive features designed to meet the needs of professional guitarists. The easy-to-operate unit offers 3-band EQ, a preset tone enhancement circuit, a battery status light, and a chromatic tuner.

How Does It Play?

The D scale length (28 1/3" scale) allows this guitar to deliver everything from wide-open growl to subdued, laid-back fingerpicking lines. It feels extremely comfortable. The guitar has received a professional setup and is ready to play. The neck is straight and the action is nice and low without fretbuzz.

A new Guardian Cases Deluxe hardshell case can be added to US orders for $75 or to international orders for $95.
