1972 Ovation Eclipse 1235-5 Black Lyrachord Archtop Guitar
All original.
Excellent player.
Has 2 top cracks one either side of pickups and 2 through controls but surprisingly don't affect playability.
Made for only a brief moment in the late '60s to early '70s as part of the Storm series, this ultra cool Eclipse features a black textured Lyrachord finish & is fitted with a pair of Hofner-made single coils that sound fantastic.
Ovation's electric instruments were all but forgotten by many but have been rediscovered by many players as cool instruments for not a lot of cash.
Ovation's Storm series included the Eclipse, Tornado, Thunderhead and Typhoon Bass.
Cool hollowbody instruments with top notch quality.
The bodies for these hollowbody instruments were actually made by Hofner in Germany. The 25.5 inch scale maple neck features an ebony fingerboard with dot inlays.
Dual pickups (made by DeArmond according to some sources) dish out killer tones. Adjustable bridge and trapeze tailpiece keep it rock solid.
The finish is a matte satin black.
This Ovation plays and sides great. The neck is straight, the action is good and the frets are fine. the pickups sound awesome.
The textured paint has held up well over the years. The guitar shows normal wear but is in great shape for its age.
Neck: Bolt-on neck with ebony fingerboard & mother of pearl dot inlays.
Frets show some only very light wear, and have plenty of life in them.
Original Ovation branded Schaller tuners work perfectly.
1 11/16" nut width; 24 3/4" scale length.
Neck is straight & truss rod works fine.
Body: Double-cutaway, semi-hollow body with dual F-holes. Trapeze tailpiece with adjustable bridge & palm mute.
Black pickguard & chrome hardware.
Guitar weighs 6 lbs 12 oz.
Electronics: Hofner-made single coils with black bezels. Dual volume & tone controls with black "witch hat" knobs; 3-way toggle switch.
All electronics are in good working condition.
Case: Slightly oversized Heavy-duty hardshell case included.
