Location: Keepin' It Weird in Portland, OR		I don't own an SSB (not counting the Trekker)...
And suddenly I might have a chance to get an 1860...
(Never had one... I've had 4861, GC057, and a S771 which is really a mid-depth)

Anyway... The Ovation Archive sez "Bracing: Ovation"
What is 'Ovation Bracing'? "X"? Fan? VT weird stuff?

I'm struggling like a kid in a candy store (on a budget), y'know?

Looks like this...

[don't go searching for it before I decide, hey? :p ]

So, What is "Ovation" bracing?
Plus, any thoughts/opinions/reviews of the 1860? (1993)

Location: New South Wales, Australia		I've got an 1860 Arthur and I've often wondered the same thing. Dunno what "Ovation bracing" means so I'm interested in any responses you might get.

Here's mine...


I've had mine since it was new so it's like a part of me these days. Like any SSB it won't pump out the volume and annoy your neighbours, but plugged in it works just fine. However, it seems louder than it used to. I don't know if that's because the top has opened up or my ears are just playing tricks on me.

Those guitars are Custom Balladeers from the mid 90's (the catalog is a 1994 one)......

Location: Keepin' It Weird in Portland, OR		Gee Ozwatto... Next time you change the strings, stick your hand it there and check.

My First Ovation was a Korean Balladeer 4861... Kinda looked like this one. So I pulled the trigger.

I\'ll let y\'all know what \'Ovation Bracing\' is once I get it. :D

Location: New South Wales, Australia		I could stick my whole head in there Arthur...and I still wouldn't know what I was looking at.

I've always said that when it comes to guitars..I just play 'em....dunno what makes them work. Terms like bracing, bridge, saddle, nut, scale length, etc, just confuse me :confused:

Congrats on the purchase. Hope you enjoy it.
