After all the questions and research on Ovation 12 strings, I had finally convinced myself to whip out the credit card and place the order for this Elite 6758 LX that Guitar Center had listed, for $499. Made the phone call. " Sorry. Someone ordered that guitar about an hour ago. There wasn't much interest in it. I thought YOU were the guy. " .


That bites ! I'm a cheap SOB and I like to be sure about things I spend good money on. It worked against me this time.

I was looking forward to this, since it had a very different look than anything else I have and probably would have sounded darn nice.

Anything else out there I should look for ? I don't get the impression I will see many of those, since it looks like they only made it for 1 year.

Anyone know anything about New Song Music Supply ? They offer factory "seconds" at a good price. No warranty, due to being officially refurbished.

Been there myself.

Don't worry, other Ovation 12'ers will show up!

As far as sound goes, how would you rate guitars in this price segment ? Which other Ovations should I keep an eye out for, if an Elite LX doesn't reappear ?

I have heard good things, but I was leaning toward a 14 fret body.
