I had never heard they made a limited number of them. Guitar Center was not known for small runs.

I thought I had read on this forum somewhere they only made so many. Maybe I'm mistaken.

I have an ovation gcxt I was wondering how you know which number it is out of the 200 they made.

I have 117/200.
It sez so on the back of the headstock.
It came with an OP-30 preamp, not an OP-Pro.

This is speculation, but...
When Guitar Center first ordered the first run of GCXT's in 2004 they ordered 200.
But since then there have been Thousands made.
Also, regular Flame 1778T's.
There are Red and Orange GCXT's.
Plus the Red, Orange, Blue and Grey 1778T's

If yours is one of the original 200 it will say so on the back of the headstock.

Well maybe not one of the first 200, but a nice guitar just the same. And by the way, you are now free to move about the cabin.... err post in the other sections as it were.
