I have owned this guitar for five years, and this is by far the most comfortable acoustic guitar I haev ever played or owned. The neck is very similar to a Strat--great action and intonation. The neck does not have a high gloss finish on it like many other guitars, which only adds to it's incredible playability. I rarely have tuning problems, and the plugged in sound is absolutely sweet. I've received numerous compliments from other guitar players playing guitars costing two to three times as much as mine about how great my guitar sounds live. The guitar has a very bright, punchy sound when unplugged, so it's great when you're just noodling around the house. The textured black finish doesn't show fingerprints, and can withstand the perils of sweat and drink spills when playing live. I don't believe there's another guitar that can stand up to the abuse this guitar can take in this price range. I have several other acoustic guitars, but my Ovation 1778T Elite T is my "go to" guitar. It has never let me down. If you are seriously looking for a reliable, "workhorse" instrument, do yourself a favor and try this guitar..you won't be disappointed.

I own an Adamas, a pair of 6778 standatd lx, a 1778t elite, and a bunch of Ibanez electric guitars. This acoustic/electric has the best sound and feedback control with a stable neck that stays in tune like nothing else I have ever owned and giged with in over 20 years of stage time. I like it twice as much as the Adamas. It is way less costly and you can sweat on the finish without worrying about smudges on stage. Yes its icky to think about but a reality of playing live. Summer outside festivals to inside bars, this is my favorite A/E guitar. Get One. Try for the op-pro if you can find it. You will feel the same way.

When shopping for this acoustic, I played all the high-end Ovations I could find; many of which were more expensive than the 1778T. This guitar just has that fat low-end sound that I couldn't find anywhere else. It is the best finger-picking acoustic I've ever heard and I couldn't be happier with it. Compare it to the other Ovations and the decision will be easy; this is truly an elite instrument that's very reasonably priced.

This is still my favorite...GREAT sound which duplicates electronically..for this price buy it..for a higher price still buy it...but this the best value i ever bought

If I can describe the guitar in 3 words: Amazing! Amazing! Amazing! I got this guitar as a gift a couple of months ago and I've been playing it for about 6 to 10 hours everyday. The sound is really great. I really love the neck because for me, it's easier to play than my other acoustic guitars. Incredible tones too! I recommend this to everybody. Don't think about it, just get one.
