Location: 92W 39N | Bump! Still have the black, USA-made Elite T for sale. About two years old, but really in like new condition. I'll take $450 plus shipping in CONUS from 65203 zipcode.
FYI, I bought two of them when they sold out the USA models. I'm offering for sale the one that has barely even been played. Like new condition.
Send me a PM if you are interested.
Thanks!

I think Ovations generally benefit in that regard from the bowl versus a traditional back and sides, but the epaulets rather than center hole also help some, I think. Obviously, I like them, too, since I'm keeping one!
Cheers,

Will this model balance on your knee when sitting, without a strap? Or is it (even slightly) neck heavy?
Otto, got any pix or a link to them?

Thanks for the question. The Elite T has the "contour" bowl and seems to balance on my knee as well as my (typical) Yamaha steel string. I tried several Ovations out when I bought them and these seemed much easier to deal with than the shallow bowl models and about like non-bowl guitars.
The guitar isn't easy to photograph, so I've included the link to the current model, which looks the same.

The only difference, I think, is that they moved Elite T production overseas.
Thanks again,

Plus my Sweet T has a shiny, smooth black binding on the edges.
My 2078T does not.
(I specify MY Sweet T cuz others may be different) |
