| This is one of the last 2078Ts produced in Hartford, CT. Even better, this Elite T is the limited edition model produced exclusively for Sweetwater Music (only 14 exist!). Often described as Ovation’s “Best Bang for the Buck”, the Elite T sounds fantastic and has great aesthetics to match. The understated “stealthy” finish coupled with the Koa epaulet is quite stunning. And, unlike most black guitars, the textured matte finish will not show fingerprint smudges. Originally purchased from John (bauerhillboy) here on this forum, this Elite T is in absolutely superb condition. This guitar has seen very minimal playing time. It was never gigged and always handled with TLC. Furthermore, the guitar is from a smoke free and humidity controlled environment. Overall, I would assess the condition as “like new” and 9.5/10. Unfortunately, I just haven’t found the time to dedicate to guitar playing as planned. So, it’s time to part with this special Ovation and get it in the talented hands of someone who will actually use and enjoy it! The specs are as follows (upgrades over standard USA Elite 2078T in bold): •Year Manufactured: 2008 •Serial No: 619370 USA •Classification: 6 String Acoustic/Electric •Body Type: Deep Contour Lyracord GS •Top: Solid Spruce •Bracing: Quintad •Rosette: Multi Soundhole 11 hole Configuration - Bass Side •Koa 1-Piece Flush Fit Epaulet (normally none) •Ultra Light Textured Black Enamel Finish •OP-Pro Preamp with 3-band EQ and Chromatic Tuner (normally OP30) •Pick-Up: Ovation “Thinline” •Neck: 2-Piece Rock Maple •Scale Length: 25-1/4” •Fretboard: Ebony •Fret Inlay: None •Bridge: Ebony •Nutwidth: 1-11/16” •Machines: Black •Case: 8158-0 Hard Shell Included (Like Deluxe 9158-0 Case!) •Koa Truss Rod Cover (Owner Upgrade and made by MWoody) Asking $600 + shipping (contact me for a S&H quote). Inspection and free local pick-up in the Western PA area can be arranged. The original owner’s manuals, documentation, truss rod wrench and case key will all be included. Don’t miss out on owning this piece of Ovation history that is sadly now gone. Thanks for looking and here are the pics! :) -Paul        | |||

| Paul, That's a terrific price for the elusive 'Sweet T'! The inlaid KOA eppi is super sweet. I've been contemplating moving mine to fund an 'O' 'itch'. But I couldn't let mine go for your price. Someone needs to snap up this 'un! They won't be disappointed...  | |||
