I have an 1861 Standard Balladeer comming. I have read different things on the specifications of this model.

Can someone confirm for me the following:

Nut 1 5/8
Lyrachord shallow bowl
under-bridge 6 crystal piezo pickup

I have been to the Ovation web site, but it seems that some of the information there is old. I read a review at Musicians Friend by someone who seems to know Ovation, and the above information was presented. Any help would be welcome.

Thanks,

Jim D

1 11/16 nut. 1861 would be a deep bowl I think.

I think the 1861 is a super shallow bowl, indicated by the 18XX.

S/S bowl,stick on rosette,2 piece mahogany neck,spruce top,no peghead venner-- I think cant remember.Anything else? I think that about covers it. Depending on the year,will determine the EQ.
