Solid Sitka Spruce top. OP-Pro pickup.
Overview
Ovation's tradition of legendary sound and great quality continues with the new LX series. The Standard Balladeer LX features a mid-depth bowl and a beautiful grade A Sitka spruce top for a clear and balanced sound. The neck is 5-piece mahogany/maple with a satin finish, and a beautifully bound rosewood fingerboard. The 1771LX sounds equally fantastic acoustic or plugged in, with its original patented pickup and OP-Pro preamp. It even has a built in tuner! It's also equipped with a rosewood bridge and chrome tuners.
All Ovations are designed for three senses: touch, sight, and sound. Listen to the astounding tone and projection. Feel the resonance and the action. Set your eyes on a beautifully designed, world-class instrument that combines the age-old science of acoustics combined with computer design and composite materials.

"Standing Ovation"
It'll stay with me as my standard go to guitar.
Sound
It sounds well balanced and hits all the highs, mids and lows that a guitar player needs to hear. It fills in lead licks and also becomes a powerful rhythm guitar, band or coffee house style. Well worth the money. Never disappointing. Try flat wound strings for extra crispness and tone..
Features
happy with it the way it is..
Value
Well worth the money....Try this and the $3,000.00 dollar guitars and you'll come back to it at the end.
Manufacturer Support
I bought mine used. No warranty...But very strong and durable just as the ovation standard is.
The Wow Factor
Needs a little more torquoise and fret inlays, but a simple classic to be in the collection.
