Location: Dallas, GA | I have a question for you guys. I recently sold a 1991 Ovation Elite 1868....and now I miss it so I am looking for another. Herein lies my question....
To me Ovation model numbers are very confusing...as far as trying to figure out which are the better or perhaps lower end models. I am used to dealing with Taylors where the higher the model number the better the guitar (So to speak).
As far as the Elite 1868 goes, is it like a middle of the road Ovation, higher end, or lower end model?? |

Location: Munich, Germany | Well, better is always in the eye of the beholder, but, if you're addicted to super shallow bowls, there are some models you should try (to find) out:
1984 Collectors - some here say one of the finest Collectors models - and one of the best super shallows
Adamas 1881 - carbon sandwich top - different animal, would be my choice
Custom Legend - 1869 - AAA grade top, lots of abalone (you can see one in my sig)
or, when it comes to the nex LX series, there's the
Custom Elite LX - C868LX
Best regards,
Kurt |

Location: Blue Ridge Mountains | Along with the Custom Legends (top of the line round hole Ovation) the Elite is the top of the line Ovation wood top w/multi-wood epi's; the ssb 1868's are one of the best gigging guitars made. I played one for years and just sold mine. The used ones are readily available on eBay. |
