About this listing
Excellent condition - Rare!! Structurally and Cosmetically Super Clean! Will try to add a demo video later. Made in USA no finish cracks at all in wood - which is rare for ovations. I have owned a number of these. Most had and the one I still own - an 1863 Made in the USA has cracks. The 1763 Model serves as the direct electronic evolution of the Ovation 1663 Classic. It took the deep-bowl, cutaway classical framework of the 1663 and upgraded it to the modern active OP-24 preamp system. The 1663 is what Pat Metheny played on many of his earlier songs. This guitar has stayed in my studio - not gigged and the person I bought it from - I'd say never played it on a gig. Very clean. Beautiful sounding guitar. For my gigs I tend to play a solid body nylon - but mostly using other guitars, archtops, etc.. Comes with original Ovation HSC.Manufacturer Specs:Top Material: Solid AAA cedar (or select spruce variants) with 5-stripe body binding and leaf pattern or fancy rosetteBack & Sides: Deep-contour Lyrachord composite bowlNeck Material: 5-piece mahogany and maple neckFingerboard Material: EbonyNumber of Frets: 19 total frets (joining the body at the 12th fret)Scale Length: ~26.25 inches (666.75 mm)Nut Width: ~2 inches (50.8 mm) — wide classical profileBridge: EbonyElectronics & Preamp: Undersaddle piezo pickup paired with an active OP-24 or OP-24+ preamp system featuring a 3-band EQ and volume controls.Tuners: Gold classical tuners with pearloid buttons (or 3-on-a-plate Schaller tuners)Finish: Natural gloss
