I have owned the Ovation 1868T Elite Acoustic-Electric, for about 5 years now. I bought it Christmas of '04 and since that day it has hardly left my hands. This guitar weighs next to nothing with its carbon fiber body and it plays as easy as an electric without a doubt. I use Martin 80/20 Bronze Medium .013-.056 gauge strings on it and it sounds like heaven. The sound resonates from the guitar beautiful and the low-end booms through the body like its not even there. I've never played any acoustic like it and neither have any of my friends! It definitely turns heads and when you start playing it, it'll turn even more heads. So.. Play it. Love it. Own it.

I have a CS257 Ovation and it sounds excellent. The 1868tx is awesome too. It sounds excellent and has a built in tuner which my 257 does not. I'm playing a ultrasound amp and I don't think you could have a better sound. The face of the guitar s kind of like what the back of an ovation is made of. It is a rough kind of material. It's tight!
