A little information about the 1768. It is an Elite, deep bowl and cutaway. Manufactured between 1986 - 1999. If you find the serial number you can use the "Reference Section" to pinpoint the year it was manufactured. If you want a "guesstimate" on it's value, they seem to be going between $400 - $600 on E-bay. Run a search on "Elite" on the bulletin board to get some interesting recent comments of the Elite. I hope this helps.

Location: Phoenix AZ | If the complete model number is 1768-7-LTD, that is the deep cutaway elite "book" guitar. It is a special version elite and the one featured on the cover of the "History of Ovation" book. It has MOP binding everywhere including the complete neck and headstock. No fretboard markers, just "1966-1996" MOP at the 12th fret. Optima electronics with Hi and low Z output. Not many of these were made and it is a super nice guitar. List new was $3030. Dave |
