Location: Keepin' It Weird in Portland, OR | Did I do good? No Case, but the seller sez he would send me a "Roadrunner Case"....
[I got the email while I was at work, so I didn't find-out if he meant a "case" or gig-bag.]
Now I gotta figger-out what I should sell to finance this... And make room... :D |

Being that's ssb, it a GREAT gigging/jamming guitar! You could(carefully) GigBag that thing easy, it's got a tough finish.
I played one at the HotelJam last year, and even though it's ssb, it sounded pretty damn GOOD for one!!! Keep in mind that it's got a pretty SkinnyKneck . . .
Cngrts!!! |

| Great get! I really liked Captain_Lovehandle's lusty red. I agree with Cliff, it sounded very good, better than any other ssb I've tried. |

Location: Keepin' It Weird in Portland, OR | Yeah Cliff... Not to show any kind of nationalistic bias about Country of Origin...
But if it IS a standard sized SSB, my CS257 might find itself living in a Gig Bag...
(not the CC255 tho'... It is a Nice little 12-string :cool: ) |

Location: Warren,Pa. | Mid is the most common, but there are some ssb's out there. My daughter has one of these and, while it doesn't have the unplugged volume of the mid-bowl, it sounds very good. If the reputation of the ssb's had been built on this model everyone would have good things to say about them.

[cuz I didn't know what a 1868T was until Now]
But reading the sellers feedback, most people got their guitars in about a week.
So now... The Wait Begins. |

Location: Houston, Texas | That looks like a good buy. I bought a similar model at Guitar Center on clearance, but it had the wood epaulets at the top and was a mid bowl. It was about $830. It is a great sounding guitar. I love it.
By the way, what is SSB??? |

Location: Keepin' It Weird in Portland, OR | I'm reading y'all, and re-looked at the photos. Then I pulled-out my CS257 and looked at how the OP30 lines-up and how the neck heel looks.
And I believe that y'all are correct, it is a mid-depth.
That just means that it won't be able to fit in my Celebrity's case.
The guy emailed me that he had shipped (USPS) and that he was sending a spendy Road Runner Gig Bag (not a RR Hard Case).
My Black Tak came with one of those, and they are really nice and sturdy, but it is still a backpack!
But not to worry, I have three Ovation Deep/Mid Depth cases if I wanna take it outside.
Otherwise, I doubt that it will spend much time in the case. :cool: |

Location: indianapolis | Yeah, that looks exactly like my 1778T and I think it is a mid-depth.
Incidently, I play mostly with a pal who uses a Breedlove Atlas series (which is wonderful BTW) but my little ovation even sounds better unplugged which stuns me.
It's just a great guitar - astounding at the retail price. For your price, it's criminal. |
