Location: England | Hi all from Merseyside in England. I've just bought an ovation 1768-4c secondhand. I don't know anything abouth this type of guitar but liked the sound and neck. I also dont know the year and can't see any obvious serial number, just the Hartford sticker and 1768 - 4c only. I believe it might be 1995 ish. Any info about this model would be appreciated. It came with ovation hardcase and cost £700 or $1000 us equivalent. It has an odd ding but nothing major.
Thanks |

Location: Tennessee | Very nice guitar. The -C in this case means cedar, which is what your top is. Gives that nice warm tone. Not too many of these around, and a very good find. Plus great to look at. Enjoy!! |

Location: GATLINBURG TENNESSEE :) | I had one at one time, and it was an outstanding guitar. The cedar top really puts out a nice warm tone. If I remember correctly, they came out in the mid 90's. You are very fortunate to have aquired it. |

Location: England | Thanks for your replies. My basset is called BERTIE. The guitar is kept in its case in the back bedroom. I've just seen a new Custom Legend LX in a loval store and it sounds nice. Would this be a retrospective step. Should i keep this one. |
