But new guitars are hard to justify while owning a 1537 / 87C / 1983 1117, all in great condition. These new guitars make me wish I were a young man just starting down the guitar road and carrying a full load of G.A.S. | ||

Joined: October 2005 Posts: 4042 Location: Utah | I've reached out to my Sweetwater sales guy with the errors in their listings. They are showing them as deep contour, and then also say they are non-cutaway, when they are deep non-cutaway. | ||

Joined: June 2020 Posts: 105 | I read aomwhere that they have mid bowls, if they actually have deep bowls this changes everything for me. I love deep Ovations, I may be very weak... Edited by mimmo 2024-09-25 12:37 PM | ||

FlySig I also sent an email about the errors in the listing to sweetwater we'll see if they change the description. | ||

Here is a listing from Thomann it says bolt on neck with 2 way truss rod and has the TR cover on the headstock so looks like an LX neck design,it says roundback and under specs it says DB which I hope means deep bowl,I wouldn't trust the sweetwater specs https://www.thomannmusic.com/ovation_pro_legend_1767_4s_g_usa.htm | ||
