Looking for any info about this guitar. In having trouble finding stuff online.

Back in the early 90's when I was a young player, I drooled over the Ovation Elite. I play mostly Taylors now but I learned to play on an old Ovation 12 string so O's have a special place for me. I really haven't even looked at them in many years till I came across this yesterday at GC. Really took me back. I bought it for $350 feeling like it was a great deal. I remember them being soooo expensive back then. While researching I see there are tons of elite models??? I don't think there were back then, but I could be very wrong.

Just wanted to get the low down on this particular one and where it fits in the grand scheme of things. I dated it as a 1990. Any info would be fantastic. Also, it seems to be a creamy off white. Think it was originally white and this is just aged to cream? If so, recommendations on what to clean it with?

Thanks

Hey Jeffz, cool guitar. The 1868 isn't a rare breed by any means, but I like 'em in white, maybe it's cuz you just don't see many.

Not too much more to say about it. I know newer white ones are pretty white, so I'll bet this one has just aged to the cream color, but you never know. It could have been more off-white back then.

There are more folks over in the General section. You're a full member now, so feel free to go say hello and ask questions over there.
