Location: SoCal | You know Woodrow, when you say I've got LX GAS, there's some truth in that statement.
The last new Ovation I bought was in '96 (Big Blue). I believe in what Ovation is building these days and think they're building some of the best guitars they've built in a long time. When they built the 1773LX, it was like they were talking to me and I was jazzed to buy something with all the new technology it it.
Of course, they still haven't built a wood topped guitar better than my '87 C (thank you T&B). |

Location: Upper Left USA | You are preaching to the chior. I was one of the idiots that blindly threw more money than SWMBO knew I had at a newly released LX when I couldn't even find one in a store to play!
There's something right about them for me. I am looking forward to getting an Elite LX 12, especially after playing the Legend LX12 in the Tacoma Ted Brown.
While I have played the FD14 I haven't played the 1537 or 87 Collectors (I do ask my Boss for that 2 weeks in San Diego to watch other people working) I would still grab the 1778LX off the wall if I had a job to do!
So many guitars and so little money... |

and in my case, even less talent.
Let me know when you're going to be in San Diego. I'll grab a couple of guitars and come on down. |

Location: Upper Left USA | Jeff,
I am in no place right now to feel another kind of GAS. Hard enough to pay for Christmas and my little guitar exchanges! I was focusing on playing 1537's, et al, at the Factory Tour, May 19, 2006 to be specific!!!
Then, my friend, we shall dance the fretboards and make comparisons long into the night! |

Location: Minden, Nebraska | Okay.... 'dextrously challenged'. Is that better? Haven't you noticed that every time we have lunch together, I make sure I sit on your right if I can't be across from you? :rolleyes:
(The truth be known, I might accept being lefthanded if that would let me play fingerstyle as well as Mike, whom I have known for 25 years.) |

Location: SoCal | Just a couple of observations on my new 1773 LX. First, compared with the shallow bowl of my 1674 Country Artist, the mid depth bowl of the 1773 LX feels almost like a deep bowl. There's only about 1/4" difference, but it feels much deeper.
Second, I like the shorter scale (12 frets to the body vs. 14). People like Sergio want more frets, but I rarely play anywhere above the 12th fret. This guitar is great for me.
Last, the sound reminds me of my old deep bowl classic. It's that good. |

I just found this website. Damn! I should search and found this site for a long time.....at least....when I lived there at 7th St. Santa Monica.
Now I move back to my hometown, Bangkok,
Thailand and really want one nylon guitar from ovation.
None ! here in Bangkok.....because it's expensive and most guitarists here prefer nylon guitar from spain.
1773LX is super attractive, so did 6773LX and Viper EA63.
envy envy envy ! |
