For customers residing in Japan
Ovation 1868-5 (ELITE) made in USA is now in stock.
The "5" next to the model name in numerical notation is a color number and means "black".
The serial number "504994" stamped on the back side of the headstock indicates that it was made in 1996.
The body is super shallow (the thinnest thickness, so it can be played as if it were an electric guitar) with a cutaway (1st string side).
Although this guitar is 29 years old, the under-saddle pickups with preamp are in good working order.
Also, the control knobs and EQ slide switch and push SW are in good condition.
The relatively simple preamp configuration is not equipped with a tuner function... This may be a desirable simplicity considering the historical circumstances of tuner evolution.

Main details and materials
Electronics: OP-X Preamp
Body Top: Solid Sitka Spruce & Quintad Bracing Pattern
Neck: Mahogany & Maple 5-piece
Fingerboard: 22-fret Rosewood
Machine Heads: Gold Schaller tuners (90s Original)

Overall Condition
There are some scratches and minor dents on the body, but there are no noticeable dents on the body.
The headstock has a 8mm wide scratch mark on the tip of the headstock, but there is no noticeable damage to the neck grip, so it does not look like it has been abused or played roughly.
There are some cracks and deterioration of the plating (especially on the knobs) on the Schaller M6 gold pegs, but they are not imitation damages, but natural damages.

Contents of professional repair work
There was a peeling of adhesion on the book-matched part of the center 2-piece Sitka spruce body top, so we used wooden repair patches inside the body to correct the bumps and re-glue, and partially repainted (spot area repair work) and buffed the area. You may rest assured.
In addition, after neck adjustment, a series of fret filing (rubbing together) has been performed, so you can rest assured.

Neck condition: No problem as it is now.
There is enough room for the truss rod.
About 80% frets remaining.
String height on 12F 6th string side: approx. 2.0mm, 1st string side: approx. 1.5mm

USA製オベーションの1868-5(ELITE/エリート)が入荷いたしました。
数字表記されたモデル名の次にある『5』はカラーを記す番号で「ブラック」を意味する記号です。
製造時期はヘッドストック裏側に打刻されたシリアルナンバー『504994』から1996年製と考察できます。
ボディはスーパーシャロー(いちばん薄い厚みなので、エレクトリックギター感覚でプレイ可能です)カッタウェイ(1弦側)のスペックです。
製造時期から29年目を迎えた個体でございますが、プリアンプ搭載アンダーサドルピックアップの動作は健全です。
また、コントロールノブやEQスライドスイッチとプッシュSWは良好な具合です。
比較的シンプルなプリアンプの構成でチューナー機能は未搭載ですが... チューナートラブルが発生しませんし、チューナー進化の歴史事情を思いますと好ましいシンプルさなのかもしれません。

総体コンディション
経年期間に伴いますスリキズや些少な打ちキズがございますが、ボディ部位に目立つ凹みキズは感じられませんよ。
ヘッドストック先端に約8ミリ幅で塗膜剥離の損傷痕や打ちキズの痕跡が数点ございますが、ネックグリップに目立つ損傷は感じられませんので、酷使や乱暴にプレイされた様子は感じられません。
当時のシャーラーM6ゴールドペグにクスミやメッキ劣化(特にツマミ部分)がございますが、模造のダメージ仕上げではなくナチュラルなダメージ具合なので渋い趣が堪りません。

プロリペア対応の作業内容
センター2Pシトカスプルースボディトップのブックマッチド貼り合わせ部分に接着剥離がございましたので、ボディ内部に木製リペアパッチ材を用いた段差修正や再接着、部分再塗装(スポット領域の修復作業)やバフ工程などを施工ですが、プロフェッショナルな美しい仕上がりなので安心していただけるかもしれません。
また、ネック調整後にフレットファイリング(擦り合わせ)に伴います一連の作業が施工され安心ですよ。
