Is this a limited edition?
Recently i found a guy here in bangkok who just bought the ovation elite1778-5T with "OP-PRO.

He said it's a limited edition.
I'm curious is this is correct ? (never heard about it)

Then I found a pic from the internet here

Any guide? :)

Some Elite-T have OP-Pro and some do not. If you choose to call it a limited edition or not is just marketing hype. I wouldn't get hung up on the name. Dave

so this means it's not the official limited edition.
It's just a customize one, isn't it?

Official edition for me is kinda like RI#47 and collector serie which won't be produce again.

Only different preamp make no sense for me to call in limited edition and that's why i post a question to ask you all, OFCers.

thanks

Both of my Elites(LX & 1778-T)have the OP-Pro in them.One came from Guitar Center in Orlando and the other from Hix Bros. Music in the midwest.So much for ltd.ed. I guess slydog

I think that at least most of the LX model 1778T's had OP-Pro electronics. Mine I had was pre-LX models, and still had the OP-30.

My 1778T is only a year or two old and has an Op-Pro as well. I'd expected it to come with an Op-30, since that's what the Ovation website indicated at the time.

They're all good amps, so I don't know that it matters. I think we had the discussion once before that spec-wise the Op-Pro isn't necessarily the best one to have. I've no complaints on mine, in any case.
