| Hi everyone. I am considering buy a used Ovation 1992 Legend 1767 AS. I don't know much about it. It is supposed to be in very good condition.
Is this guitar US made?
Thanks.

Location: Utah | That's a deep bowl cutaway. Built in USA, and should be a very good sounding guitar. |

| Thank you. I am looking at another model also a 1627-4 GLEN CAMPBELL. It's from 1976. Good reputation? Thank you. |

Location: When?? | Both are nice guitars in their own right.. and both are USA-made.. but at this point in time their overall condition as used equipment is a critical key to which is the better guitar. |

Location: Utah | The 1627 is an Artist depth bowl, which is shallower than the mid-depth, and that is not as deep as the deep bowl. The Artist bowl will not be as bold or deep sounding as a deep bowl. It does have the A bracing, which imho is the best sounding wood top bracing.
Plugged in it will be excellent. If you will mostly play unplugged, I would expect it not to be as good as the 1767. If it will be plugged in all the time, the Artist bowl will be, perhaps, easier to hold onto. |

| Thanks for the good info. I guess the choice I need to make is to buy a 45 year old Ovation made in the USA or something newer. The prices on the two older models seem reasonable to me but I wont be able to play them to see how they sound. |
