| I'm in Dallas at the moment, looking for a store that sells the 1773 LX (nylon string).
Can anyone recommend a store to try it, or maybe an online place twhere I could buy it. Can't find a lot of websites that sell this guitar.
I just arrived in the US, don't know many places to look at.
Thanks for any help. |

Location: SoCal | Contact Al Pepiak. He's one of the founders of this board, an Ovation dealer, and just about as honest an individual as you can find. I bought my 1773LX thru him with no problems at all. Here's a link to his website, with his contact info.

You're going to like the 1773LX. You're going to like the 1773LX. The sound of a deep bowl classical, but much more comfortable to play. |

| Hey Moody,
Thanks for your help.
How would you compare the sound and playability of the 1773 with the ones of the 1763? |

Location: SoCal | I used to own a 1763. Very similar sound, much easier to play due to 1 7/8" neck and shallower body. I'd take the 1773LX over the 1763 easily. |

| Moody,
Did the deep bowl body of your 1763 bother you while playing? Is the shallow body of the 1773 Lx much much confortable (I usually play on a chair or couch with the guitar on my laps)?
That might be a decisive buying factor for me. |

Location: Waxahachie, Tx | GC in Arlington had a 6773LX about 2 weeks ago give'em a call ask to speak to Mike daytime sales/manager. If he doesn't have it he can find which store does. or he can look in their inventory store wide to see if they have what your looking for. |

Location: SoCal | I think the mid depth bowl on the 1773LX is more comfortable than the deep bowl. I also like the narrower neck.
I'm going to bring my 1773LX to CT in May. Come on out and play it. |
