Location: Lakewood, Ohio | Another factor is value retention. Certain limited models, ie the Patriot, probably would hold its value. Would the Elite Ts will hold value as well? For that matter which superior sounding Ovation/Adamas models have actually gone up in value i.e. 47 reissue, U 687 T. With the right guitar, assuming you dont alter its condition, you could play one for years and then sell it for more down the road. Thats bang for the buck. |

Location: SoCal | It's an interesting question but one that I don't really consider. If I don't want a guitar permanently in my collection, I don't buy it in the first place. I'm not thinking of it's value down the road..... |

Location: Steeler Nation, Hudson Valley Contingent | My brother picked up a 1537 for me in CO just this morning that I paid $600 for. VFM doesn't get any better than that! :D :cool: |

Location: CA | I second (third? fourth?) EliteT, the 1778T to be exact. When I was looking to move up Ovation-wise, I played maybe 8-10 different models and the 1778T sounded the best and had the best neck of all of them. Now if I could only get used to the look of the damn thing, I'd be a happy guy. Never could reconcile the flamed T models (largely because, IMHO, the flames go the wrong way), but man, I sure like that new T with the single epaulet noted here a few days ago. (http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/EliteCK/). But yeah, bang for buck: Elite T all the way. |

The best acoustic ovation in terms of VFM
