Incredible GuitarThis guitar is a wonderful example of the innovative spirit at Ovation. The entire body of the guitar has a textured enamel finish that gives it a toughness suitable for stage use and frequent handling. It comes in Pewter and Black. Amazingly, Ovation has engineered this coating so that it actually contributes to the projection of the guitar as opposed to deadening it, as you would expect. The 1778t has an unusual array of soundholes and a special bracing pattern that also contribute to its projection.
The guitar has a low action and the narrow Ovation neck making it very playable by someone with small hands. The action would also make it an excellent first "good" guitar.
The solid spruce top, even though hidden under the enamel finish, has a mellow tone especially at the low end, UNAMPLIFIED.
The on board preamplifier has two preset sound shape settings that, to be honest, are beyond my comprehension. They are likely useful to a professional musician. It also has a built in equalizer to personalize the sound of your guitar. In addition, the OP30 electronics has a built in electronic tuner! You do NOT need an amplifier to use the tuner.
The 1778t is an "acoustic-electric" guitar. That means it can be played without or with an amplifier. Either way, it sounds fantastic!
Just Great!I have 3 other Ovation guitars, and after 10 years of being an absolute fan of my classic nylon string guitar, I have to say this one has become my favorite one.
As the prior reviewer mentioned, it has a great finish that gives me peace when my kids are around. The built in tuner is a very cool gadget. Sound is great.
