This is a USA-made Ovation made especially for Guitar Center, which is where I bought it about 3 or 4 yrs ago. It has some minor dings and pick scratches on the finish, but no issues other than that. I just recently had it professionally set up (12s for strings and down a step for tuning to D). Comes with case.

Price is $500 shipped with insurance. I'll even toss in a set of new strings (Martin 12s) that you can put on once you get the guitar. I've found that strings on a guitar can sound dead or even buzz when changing elevations/climates etc.

I'd prefer to use Paypal. I'll except a return within 3 days if the buyer is not satisfied with the guitar. I want whoever buys it to be happy with it!

Selling to put $ towards an Ovation nylon string, and I don't play this one enough. Sorry about the quality of the pics, my camera sucks!

Oh yea, I am a smoker, so it probably smells like smoke. Just a heads up.

For those that haven't seen these in person, or who might think that the Guitar Center model means it is inferior, these are GREAT guitars. It is based on the 1778LX with a few customizations.

My daughter's bandmate Katie has one. The black gloss top looks really classy, and the epaulet is nice spalted Maple which really adds to the classy look. Plugged in, Katie's guitar is just killer.

At this price somebody should just jump on it.

These are great guitars. I took one to the SSSJ last fall and it was played a lot. Good luck on the sale.

Hey Bro...I don't know if it matters to you, but when I click on the EBAY site you provided, it logged me on as "chesswt" ... again, I don't know if someone could mess with you or your "My EBAY" thru this, but thought you should know.

Oh yea, nice guitar!

I always thought "stealth" was for the black on black, tuners etc...
I really liked Bob's black beauty!
