An AWESOME Guitar

This 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. 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 sound holes 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. In addition, the OP-Pro electronics has a built in electronic tuner! You do NOT need an amplifier to use the tuner. In addition, it features a three band equalizer to shape the tone of the amplified instrument to your liking. The 1778TX is an "acoustic-electric" guitar. That means it can be played without or with an amplifier. Either way, it sounds fantastic!
