Location: New Hampsha | For reasons of survival, this one has to go:
Elite 6778LX NEB US MADE!!!
Mid bowl with Op-Pro. Sorry to use a stock image but I haven't had time to take the artsy-fartsy outdoor shot with sky and grass like Mike and Dweezil. It's raining up here.
Besides, my life is on the line and minutes may count....
This guitar is absolutely like new without a mark on it, and looks incredible with the flush Epis in New England Burst. Also has the good case and case candy. Ask around and you'll find that my guitars are accurately described and generally mint unless stated. This one is dead mint.
$800 delivered to OFC in lower 48, or pick it up for $775. Please. I don't do Paypal so MO is preferred payment method. Or wads of cash in a gym bag, your choice.
You guys wanting a reasonably priced US made Ovation - here's a great feel-good opportunity to grab a bargain and maybe save a life while you're at it. :eek: |

| The 1778 is a solid spruce top and the 6778 is a AA spruce top. Little better quality top on the 6778. Other than that I think they are identical in most everything. |

Location: Parrish, FL | Both have solid spruce tops, there may be a grade difference in the wood. The 1778 has inlaid epaulets, while the 6778 are on top of the sound board.
Both are great guitars.

Location: New Hampsha | Both the 1778LX and the 6778LX have inlaid epis.
The difference is the 6778LX has a bound rosewood board and A top while the 1778LX has a bound ebony board and AA top.
This is still available, BTW. I have the 09C Koa and my custom 97C Koa arrives this week. If you want a mint Elite this is it. |

Location: closely held secret | Of course you're right, Mitz. I was thinking of the old 1778...
I've owned a 6778LX before, and they are excellent guitars both plugged and unplugged! |

| I believe the 6778 is discontinued or no longer made as far as model. I had one of these in the NEB like Mitz is sellig here. I wished I could buy her. That is one sweet little guitar for sure. And that finish is better looking in person that in a picture! |

And it sounds as nice as it looks.
And I have a 97C with an Adamas CVT top coming from Mother in a month or so. |

Location: GA USA | Update: I've had this axe for a month now and I love it. I played it with the church band again yesterday. Once we finish playing, we sit down among the congregation for the message. The 6778 stays on stage of course, under the stage lights and the NEB makes it look like there's a light inside the guitar making it glow. It's breathtakingly beautiful. The stock picture at the top of this thread doesn't nearly do it justice. |

Location: Right now? | I agree! I love mine. Congratulations on a good grab. You are right; photos don't really do it justice. It sounds as pretty as it looks, too.
Here is mine:
(I hope the photo doesn't come over huge) |
