Sound Pure's Take
Condition: Used, Excellent
SP Luthier Notes: This instrument has been carefully inspected and, if necessary, serviced by our certified luthier to ensure it is in excellent playing condition.
Built around Ovation's iconic Lyrachord back and a solid cedar top with high-gloss finish, the Classic 1773AX brings nylon-string warmth to an ergonomic acoustic-electric design. The mahogany neck sports a comfortable 'D' profile and an inlay-free Pau Ferro fingerboard that matches its rosewood-style bridge. Plugged performance is driven by the OP-Pro Series preamp system, equipped with an integrated tuner and flexible EQ shaping. Gold classic tuners and multi-ply body binding give it a sleek, elevated look. At 4 lbs 7 oz, this cutaway crossover ships with a hardshell case.
