Location: Utah | My teenage daughter has a 1778T red flame. I love that guitar! It plays great and sounds great. Plugged in the sound is also great. My string preference is the Martin Marquis Phosphor Bronze light gauge.
Whenever we take that guitar somewhere, all the other guitarists beg to play it and then rave about it. Honestly, I cannot imagine another guitar within $1000 sounding as good, except maybe another Ovation. My daughter and I went to the local Guitar Center (big chain guitar store) and went into the expensive guitar room. She played all the $2000 and up guitars and none of them sounded as good, nor did they have the great neck that the 1778T has.
If you get one, you'll love it. Contact Alpep, he's sure to be able to get you a great price on one, and you won't have to deal with EBay. It's worth an email to check with him. |

Am planing to have carpets taken up to accomodate new guitar, floor boards should go nicely with that wooden round back of yours Quite. |

Could be a typo for sounding proofing a room? As you can tell typing, grammer and spelling are less important than ideas. We are idea men (people) here. |

Location: GA USA | An Elite T is what I want next. It will probably be my permanent playing guitar. But GGG, I happen to like the red, but not so much the pewter. |

Location: NW NJ | I have 1778T in Lusty Red - hate the color name, and the red could be redder, but the guitar itself though is a whole different story. I have a bunch of guitars and it is the one everyone wants to play. It sounds teriffic, frets easy and is built like a tank so it is great for gigging. The neck is 2 piece rock maple and to die for. Mine has the OP-Pro preamp and I just love it. Definitely the best bang for the buck in an American made guitar. |
