I started my sojourn here with a 4861, which I sold to buy a 'Real Ovation'...
Now I just got a 1860... Kinda similar, huh?

I have regretted selling the 4861...
Now we will see how long I keep this one! :eek:

I like the look of the 1860. Unplugged, how close is it to the sound of the 1627?

I'll let you know once I put some decent strings on it. This guitar is in great condition, except for some healthy pick-tracks that don't really show from the front. (But they Are there!)
The person who sold this sent me an Ernie Ball strap with Dunlop locks, some Fender heart-shaped picks in a little yellow holder and some strings.
The strings say, "Our Cheapest Set Of Strings" on the package. :p
So this person knows a little about guitars, right?

First thing I saw was a dust-bunny inside the sound-hole. And for some reason the G string is dead.
(I also got some assorted strings, so this must be the type of person who changes one string at-a-time as the break or wear-out)
The neck is really dry. Not the fretboard, the neck.
So right not I got it all apart and I am cleaning it.
Right now I am letting oil sink into the fretboard, neck & bridge.

After I string it up, I will do a side-by-side...
Not to disrespect my new toy, but the 1627GC has a pretty unique sound.
