Location: Some where Over the rainbow | Well I have been gone for a minute and I have now read all the things here, I have a gcs-771/ Balladeer/ Cedar top With OP-30(I hope that is right). I am very new to guitar as a whole but I love the buitar so far it sound so nice, the tones are very rich for the cedar top and the highs ring so pure and clear its rad. The one problem I am having is I cannot find this guitar anywhere on the web, I would post a pic of mine but have not snpped any yet. If someone can find a pic on the web post it for me please, other wise you aall have to wait until next week when I get back from Nashville. JOE> |

Location: Boise, Idaho | Yours was made for Guitar Center. I like them. The cedar gives them a very mellow sound. Nothing flashy. Just a well made great sounding guitar. It should be a keeper, Joe. Enjoy it. And enquiring minds are dieing to know if you're from Kansas. |

Location: Houston, Texas | That is a cedar topped one in the ebay auction, which are made special for Guitar Center. I have the standard spruce topped model S771-4. These are really great guitars. Fairly inexpensive for what you get, with an understated functional appearance. Very balanced acoustic output and a playability that is just amazing. These are basically the bottom end of the USA made Ovations, but functionality and playability are not sacrificed to meet the lower price point. It still remains my most played guitar. |
