- at least Excellent, near MINT condition; no cracks, gouges, scrapes, dents, etc.
- 25¼” scale length, single cutaway, 20 frets
- Made in New Hartford, CT
- Built June 9th, 2005; no serial number (can’t explain, but see pics, plus here: Viewing a thread - 6756LX? Viewing a thread - 6756LX? - Transparent Burgundy (TPB) finish
- apparently rare? or possibly limited edition color? (have never seen another for sale, TPB not listed for the 6756LX in the 2007 catalog)

- Engraved Gold Tuners
- Ovation Op-Pro preamp, with Ovation High Output Undersaddle Pickup

- Strap buttons work with Dunlop Straploks
- Fitted Ovation hard molded #9158 case included
- Neck-to-body angle intentionally (and temporarily) adjusted -- to lower apparent string height at the upper frets -- by our local Kaman-certified luthier
- Packing, insurance, and shipping within CONUS included (enquire, for elsewhere)
- PayPal is easiest payment method 25 pics available, but my cameras (and subsequent processing) won't get them down to below the 100 KB max... so please feel free to enquire and I can send all via email (about 4.5 MB total)

Location: moline,illinois | Pretty Guitar the LX design was supposed to be a step up on neck mounting and other features.
How do you know the exact date of manufacture if there's no serial number?
It is a mid depth bowl there's no contour on it
I would call the finish cherry cherry burst I have a Custom Legend that looks similar.

| One of the pics I haven't been able to upload shows the neck dismounted... and the date is stamped on it, along with the handwritten name of the luthier (I think) who put it all together.
The "mid-depth bowl contour" is where I apparently mis-understood the 2007 Ovation catalog entry. (Another pic I haven't been able to upload.) There's a "Deep Contour" and a "Mid-Depth C/A" (applicable here) but I could never find out what C/A meant. No key to that, in the catalog. Thanks for the correction! (And what does C/A stand for?)
The same catalog page has a picture of a 6-string 1777LX-TPB alongside the Legend info... and that TPB looks exactly like what's on mine. The 1777LX info line only says Natural and Black colors, no TPB despite the picture. The available finishes for the 6756LX are shown as Natural, Black, and Amber Burst. No TPB option... so I dunno exactly what to make of all that.

Location: moline,illinois | Chris is this the catalog your referring to from 2007
C/A generally means cutaway
A 2005 model may have had different finish options than the 2007
If you scroll far enough down there is a list of finishes and abreviations

| Cutaway! Got it, thanks!
Yes, that's the catalog. Pages 12 and 13. I have a copy of a 2009 catalog, too; shows a 2077LX-TPB on pages 12/13... but not much about any 12-string models. Some other "red" colors on some models too (CCB, RR), all obviously NOT TPB.
I know 2005 models might have been different, just never have been able to find 2005 info... but in the meantime, have never seen a TPB 6756LX advertised anywhere in the secondary market... so I only speculate...

| You mean you have a 6756LX? Or you have an actual TPB version? Or...
I like this one, and I think it sounds great... just looking for a new home...
