USA-made Ovation Custom Balladeer, Model 1860, crafted in the legendary New Hartford, Connecticut factory. Finished in a gorgeous, vibrant Sunburst, this guitar is a prime example of American acoustic-electric craftsmanship from Ovation’s golden era.
This specific instrument has been completely and meticulously restored to pristine, stage-ready condition. The top is incredibly clean, the gloss finish is mirror-like, and it has been set up to play flawlessly.
The Model 1860 features Ovation's highly desirable Super Shallow Cutaway Lyrachord bowl. It sits flush against your body, making it incredibly comfortable to play standing up—perfect for gigging musicians or electric players making the crossover to acoustic.
The Setup & Restoration:
• Fully Restored: Carefully cleaned, polished, and inspected top-to-bottom.
• Pro Setup: The action has been dialed in to be comfortable and fast across the entire fretboard.
