Just curious about the electronics on a Legend 1867 in a local shop. I've played this guitar several times and am saving $ to purchase as my new performing guitar (they are selling it fro $899.99 and they told me yesterday they would throw in a hard shell case, ticket says mnfc price is $1299.00). The serial number is 563985, which according to the "Crack the Code" on the Ovation site was manufactured in 2001. The electronics are not the same as the one shown on the web site. It is a rectangular preamp, which looks to have the same functions as the curvy ones on the web site. The preamp has no model printed on it. Does anyone know which preamp it is? Thanks in advance!

It should say on the preamp what it is, but if I had to guess, I'd say it's an OP24+C (chromatic tuner). This is an excellent unit. Don't feel bad about not having the latest. You're not missing anything.

Yes paul, should be an OP24+c on that guitar. Great sounding pickup/preamp. I havnt heard the new ones yet but this one will do you just fine.

I'm pretty sure the legends from that year had the OP-X pre, which is basically the Optima with the low-Z out, phantom power option & tuner. It's a great sounding preamp. Certain Legends around then had the Hex-FX pre as an option.

Thanks all. It does have the tuner. And I have plugged it in in the shop, sounds great.

Happy New Year! :)
