The crisp resonance and instantly recognizable articulate tone of a solid Sitka spruce top and Lyrachord deep-profile body make this beautifully aged Sunburst 1974 Ovation USA 1111-1 Balladeer a true player's find, with low, even action across the fingerboard, and '70s vintage vibe to spare.
Notes: This 1974 Ovation USA 1111-1 Balladeer is in Very Good condition, with very light wear consistent with age and occasional home use. What appear to be age or climate-related changes to Sunburst finish are visible on bottom/right edge of top plate near binding (pictured). Small elevated finish bubble present on bottom/right edge of top plate (pictured) likely an attempt to cover a finish ding at some point in this instrument's life. Climate-related finish crack present above soundhole rosette, professionally evaluated as stable, does not affect performance or playability. Hardened adhesive backing from original grip pad present on treble side of instrument (pictured). Includes original hard case and materials, exterior fabric binding beginning to separate (pictured).
