Location: Denver, PA USA | I am considering selling my Ovation 1777LX Legend with cherry finish. But thought I would post and see if anyone has something I am interested in for trade. Let me know what you have to trade. I will consider anything is the same price range. But I want a flat back. No O's. I just can't get use to that round back. I live in Denver, PA.

I will check it out. I have to go away for a couple of days. My mom was admitted to the hospital, so I am trying to clear my plate to get up to her. I will get back to you as soon as I can.

Location: Tennessee | Agree, agree, agree! If you have about four hours to spare, you can hand polish out that satin finish and really bring out the mahogany! I personally like the 000-15S more than the dread, but both are excellent guitars, especially for the money. |

This may sound dumb, but when you say handpolish, do you mean using butchers wax, and then repeatedly polishing it for four hours? Would maybe using something like M'Guire X first make sense to smooth out the finish, then use the buthcers wax? Anyone here know about glossing out a satin finish?
Thanks,

Great warm woody tone but articulate. One of the best sounding guitars for the money. You will love it. |

There are a lot of different guitar sounds and feels out there. Just gotta give 'em a chance.... |

| You know people often ask me if upgrading their plastic saddle to bone will improve the sound. I always answer that all it will do is change the sound. Whether or not it's better depends on if you like it better.
Now the CE-768 doesn't sound at all like a Collings.
Then again the Collings doesn't sound at all like a CE-768.
The Collings sounds great, the Ovation sounds different great.
There's room in the world for us all.
Life's too short not to enjoy all the guitars.
By the way, I now own more Ovation guitars than any other brand. Go figure. |

Location: SoCal | Great trade...classic and elegant with a great voice.
Personally, I like the mahogany (the D-15S) or Koa (the D-25K2).
The 30th Anniv CL will still get the most play :cool: :D :cool: |
