USED Ovation / 1860 Custom Balladeer, 1993, Sunburst [12]

The Ovation 1860 Custom Balladeer has arrived.
The 1860 Custom Balladeer boasts the high reliability of a U.S.-made instrument and exceptional playability thanks to its ultra-thin, super-shallow bowl. Despite its slim body—so slim that switching from an electric guitar feels completely natural—the responsive sound produced by the solid Sitka spruce top is truly impressive. It is highly resistant to feedback, making it the perfect instrument for delivering top-notch performances on stage.
Regarding condition, there are signs of use throughout, including scratches, minor dents, a crack in the decorative cutaway near the soundhole, paint cracks on the body top from the 16th fret to the soundhole decoration, and on the 6th string side of the bridge, as well as a repaired crack in the internal binding on the neck side of the soundhole.
