Joined: July 2009 Posts: 6 Location: DFW, TX | Hello.. First post here. I just purchased an Ovation Ultra 2178 Vintage Amber Burst guitar from Ebay last night. It even came with a hard shell ovation case. This is my first a/e guitar purchase, first ovation, and pretty much a beginner. I have been reading a lot over the last few days and was wondering what all you O Fan's think about this particular guitar. I got the guitar and case for $375. Here is the auction with pictures. Seemed like a great deal. I went to Guitar Center and was looking at some of the Celebrity ones, but wasn't that impressed with them compared to another I tested out there.. then I found this on eBay. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=350229025054#ht_... Anyway, really excited about it. Be honest, its all an opinion anyway.. Thanks and glad to be a part of the OFC! :cool: -Nate | ||

I have one of these (the round hold version) and can't believe how good they are for the money. I love that Amberburst top, too. You got a fantastic guitar for a beginner. Stick around . .. I see more guitars in your future. :cool: | ||

They were solid tops, 5 piece necks and seemed to be the same as the USA made Ovations, except they were made overseas. The ones I played sounded great. Looks like you got a good deal. Enjoy it and welcome to the OFC. | ||

The serial # is 7092048, but not sure if I can tell from that when it was produced. This thing is in mint condition. Here are some details about it: http://www.ovationguitars.com/?fa=news&art=778 and http://www.ovationguitars.com/?fa=detail&mid=2272 I talked with the owner at http://www.oklahomavintageguitar.com/ and he stated that he had one recently that sold for nearly $679 new. Thanks for your replies and glad to be here! -Nate | ||

Joined: March 2009 Posts: 715 | Nate, welcome! That is a great deal on a really pretty guitar. Welcome to the magnificient "O"bsession. I just bought my first Ovation myself, after longing for one for quite some time. I am finding that having an Ovation is like Lay's potato chips -- you can't stop at just one! I wish you many years of enjoyment with your new guitar. Michelle | ||
