Location: Steeler Nation, Hudson Valley Contingent		Anyone need a REALLY nice guitar that can curb stomp anything else on stage for looks and sound?! Here's your critter!

A very nice, USA-made, deep bowl, eye-catching, ear-snapping piece of New Hartford craftsmanship! This guitar is in excellent condition for its age with only some pick scratching to note anywhere on the instrument. Everything else is beautiful. The frets have almost no wear at all. The neck is straight. The action is fine. The playability is all Ovation. I've put a new set of D'Addario lights on it and the thing positively sings! No one will be disappointed with this guitar.

It has a solid spruce top bordered with abalone, an ebony fretboard with abalone everywhere, 24K gold-plated tuning machines with pearloid buttons, a bound neck with the hand-rubbed urethane finish, Quintad bracing, and the Optima Pre-amp with a built-in tuner. It comes with its hardshell case; also in very good condition with all hinges and latches in good repair.

I'm looking to get $775 shipped in the continental US. If you are overseas, we will have to work out shipping.

Let me know what you think everyone. Feel free to ask any questions.

All I ever see are beautiful guitars in terrific condition that I can't afford to buy.

Location: Wichita, KS		I just bought a '93 Elite 1768. As much as I love it, I wish I had seen yours first, Patch. Could've kept it in the Steeler family.

It has arrived!

My 1997 Custom Elite CE-768 just got here to Australia from the US, two long weeks it took.

It is exactly as Patch described. Beautiful!

Thanks Patch, very much appreciated.
