Product Description

An instrument of unmatched value, the Ovation 1771AX standard balladeer cutaway acoustic electric guitar is the envy of every guitar maker in its class because of its combination of exceptional tone, great playability and amazing features.

The 1771AX features a mid-depth body, AA solid spruce top, scalloped X-bracing, and a rosewood fretboard and bridge. Chrome tuning machines and a beautiful pearl oak leaf rosette add even more to the already great looks.

The onboard Ovation OCP-1K pickup delivers classic Ovation tone for a beautiful plugged-in sound, and the OP-Pro preamp system was designed to work specifically with the OCP-1K pickup. This offers you a range of features that will enhance your performance in any venue.

OP-PRO
Designed in collaboration with Al DiMeola and Melissa Etheridge, the OP-PRO combines state-of-the-art audio quality with guitarist-friendly features for a preamp that should please even the most discriminating player. zZounds is an authorized dealer of Ovation products.

Customer Reviews
4.5 out of 5 (7 ratings) Rate and Review This Product
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "Plays better than more expensive Ovation models"
Overall: I sold my ovation custom 2771 deep contour bowl priced 400 dollars higher than this model because the neck was too wide and I spotted imperfections with the frets and the binding, but this guitar is built better and plays easier. While the electronics are not as good as the custom model, this less expensive Ovation plays and sounds better, this is the easiest playing instrument among my 4 acoustic guitars. The mid bowl size is actually fairly shallow and very comfortable, much easier to handle than the deep bowl. I would never buy an Ovation deep bowl again, but these mid bowl guitars are just perfect, built really strong, stay in tune and sound really sweet.

1. We offer the most flexible payment plans in the biz

zZounds offers a number of different installment payment plans that make it affordable and convenient for you to get the gear you really want today, without racking up risky credit card debt.

Other stores offer house credit cards that require you to fill out an application and pass a credit check--and, if you qualify, leave you vulnerable to exorbitant interest charges once the initial promotional period ends. zZounds payment plans are easy to get and simple to use; plus we'll never charge you interest!

2. We guarantee the lowest price

If we don't already have the lowest price, just send us a link to any legitimate competitor's offer, and we'll beat their price as long as we're not losing money on the deal.

To submit a request for a lower price, click "Seen it for less?" on any product page. We answer most lowest price requests within two hours. For extra peace of mind, you also have 30 days after your purchase to find a lower price; if you do, we'll refund the difference.

Plus, we keep both warehouses well stocked with all the most popular products, so you'll usually get your gear fast without having to pay more for expedited shipping.

In fact, zZounds offers free two-day delivery on many of our best-selling products!

4. We make returns super easy

You have 30 days to try your gear at home, in your practice space or studio. If you're not absolutely in love with the sound you're getting, just let us know. We'll promptly arrange for an exchange or a refund without the hassles or hidden charges you face with some of our competitors. If there's something wrong with the gear you bought from us, we'll email you an electronic return label so you can return it easily and free of charge.

5. Our customer service is consistently rated the best

zZounds customer service is consistently rated at or near the top on every major comparison shopping website--probably because we only hire experienced musicians with outstanding customer service skills to work in our call center, and they don't work on commission. To us, this is our most meaningful measure of success. zZounds has served over a million customers since 1996, and they're the only critics whose reviews really matter to us.
