| I don't come here often, but I have travelled through during brief intervals when I have wanted to play an acoustic (and, therefore, have wanted to buy an Elite T).
Everyone here has always been so personable that I thought I would pass on this info. If you already know this, forgive me.
Music123 is having a Memorial Day event--up to 100.00 off. Ovation is part of the promo, so you can put an Elite T in your cart for 599.00 and then apply promo code MEM123, and that will cause the shopping cart to be reduced by 100.00 = Elite T w/ case, shipped , 499.00.
This applies to all Ovation (but the 2078T is out of stock)

Location: Warren,Pa. | ...and fuydahmoh, that's a pic of a black T with the new LX features. They say what they're selling is Pewter. A pewter T is more than likely a pre-LX guitar, which may be OK with someone but may be an unwanted surprise to someone else.

Location: Upper Left USA | Yup, no case.
The T I have has the LX bolt on(off) neck and susequent lighter bowl but the bracing isn't scalloped X - it is Quintad.
Ovation Elite T – 6 string Made in USA model with the bolt-on LX style neck, Upgraded to the OP 40 Preamp this is the no-frills highest value in $ per Sound instrument that Ovation puts out. Awesome sound, action and durability! It comes with OHSC and strap. Ebony Bridge and fret board. $475.00 Comes with a beat up case.

| Includes case:
"Ovation 1778T Elite T Series Acoustic-Electric Guitar
With a solid spruce top and textured enamel finish, the Ovation 1778T Elite T Series Acoustic-Electric Guitar delivers warm, loud, rich tone forever. Mid-depth bowl combines playing comfort and great projection. OP-30 preamp includes a full chromatic tuner, mid-shift button, preshape button, volume, and 3-band EQ with bypass for studio precision tonal command right on your guitar. Super-stable 2-piece mahogany neck and classy pewter finish. Includes Ovation hardshell case." <-----
In regard to the pewter finish, MusiciansFriend/Music123/WWBW/Giardinelli--all the same company--are notorious for inserting mistaken descriptions and/or photos--and other oddities. For example, sometimes, blemished items are listed as being higher than new stock.
A phone call would confirm that it is black.
If it came pewter anyway, free shipping is free shipping both ways. Just return it. |
