One of the Last American Made Ovation Standard Elite LX.

To be honest at first with the D'Addario EXP coated strings, it sounded dull.
I removed those and 2 shims from under the bridge; and restrung it with Adamas 1818 phos bronze .012 to .053
It came alive and sounds wonderfull.
Its very Bright sounding! LX scalopped bracing does sound substantually different than A Brace or Quintad braced guitars.
This really was a steal at under 8 bills
I am quite pleased.

Once again it was easy transaction in dealing
with Al. Thanks AL!!

Also a thank you to the good people in New Hartford.
Your skill and craftsmanship is secound to none.
I personally will not buy an imported guitar.

Location: Central Massachusetts		PEZ, I'm way over 13, but I can show you. Launch Photo Booth, and then go into the Edit menu at the top. One of the options is 'Auto Flip New Photos' .. make sure that's turned on and you won't get the lefty question any more. You just have to do it once and it'll stay that way forever.

Judging by how close the serial number is just
2600 higher than my Custom Legend I am wondering if this one pre fender.
