I just bought a used 1578 Ultra Deluxe and it is not anything like I have been able to find.
It is not FMH or BC but looks like burled maple or ash. It is honey in color. No mother of pearl around the body, OP-30 preamp.
I have emailed Ovation asking for information about this model but have heard nothing back. I can post pictures but don't knwo how.
Any help???
Thanks

This is the body and style but the woood is not even close, I have wide grain towards the outside with a burl like knot at the bridge. The finger board has a different curve at the bottom. I had found one post somewhere that showed the exact model I have but cannot find it again. I am beginning to think that Ovation made several proto-types and gave them to dealers. I had a Takemine that had the same story, only 100 or so made.

Go to the For Sale section and read the post by Waskel pinned 7 down from the top. I'm trying to post pics this morning and I always forget how.

The guitar has a 7 digit serial number 8017299.
I cannot find any place that shows a 7 digit number that high.
Any ideas?

this link explains what I appear to have on the inside and I am begining to think the top is also bubinga as well. The inside looks exactly like the ones posted above.
Thanks for the help.
Great sound and long sustain unplugged
Plugged as all ovations outstanding.
