Location: McLean, VA | Hi all,
I bought this guitar with the hope of getting into guitar playing (I'm primarily a bass player), but I've found that it just isn't happening, and this instrument is too nice to just be lying around. It's essentially still in brand new condition as it's barely been played.
It doesn't come with an Ovation HSC, but I can include a Roadrunner Acoustic Gigbag I've got with it.
Asking $1400 shipped (to the 48 continental US states) or best offer. Will accept PayPal, but would prefer money order.
Thanks!
Specs:
The Ovation Elite has been given a full upgrade to create the C2078 LX acoustic-electric guitar. It's lighter, louder, richer and fuller - all the things you want your guitar to be. C2078 LX innovations include:
Advanced Neck System
A lightweight dual-action truss rod makes precision adjustments simple. Carbon fiber stabilizers keep the fingerboard perfectly aligned at the neck/body joint.
Inlaid Epaulets
The exotic wood leaf-shaped "epaulets" are now inlaid into the top with laser precision. The new cleaner design actually offers a slight sound enhancement.
Scalloped Bracing
Play a new LX and prepare to be impressed by the hugeness of the acoustic sound. Deeper, richer but with the legendary Ovation balance and clarity.
Lyrachord Body
The smooth, hard composite Lyrachord GS body improves projection and reflects top vibrations better than traditional material and is now even lighter and stronger.
Patented Pickup
Six separate elements sense both string and top vibration, giving you a better string-to-string balance, no matter what string type or guage you use.
OP-PRO Preamp
Designed in collaboration with Al DiMeola and Melissa Etheridge, the new Op-Pro Preamp is voiced to give you arena-sized sound with a minimum of eq gymnastics. Every improvement comes directly from the needs of pro players and sound engineers.

Think I might hold out for a week and then grab it for $250! ;) Thanks... :) I'm mainly trying to be more realistic about my asking price..... I think $1400 (without an Ovation HSC) is too close to what stores on eBay are selling them for brand new. Even though my C2078LX is new in the sense that it's been barely played since I bought it, it still isn't "new" in that sense.
I'm hoping $1250 is closer to a reasonable asking price. |
