The Ovation 1778TX 5GSM is the 'perfect' guitar as far as playability and tone goes. I own two other Ovations including a deep contour, but Ovation really hit it out of the park with the design of the 1778TX 5GSM. The tone is perfectly balanced and richer than my other Ovations. When you strum a chord it sounds like butter with every string contributing to a beautiful chorus. The AA Spruce top produces a warm woody sound unlike any other Ovation I've listened to. And the trademark Ovation neck with its 10 inch radius and ultra smooth back makes it easy to play all the way up the neck. The strings are well intonated and keep their tuning for a long time. I do own a Martin which has beautiful tone, as well as a few Taylors, but the 1778TX 5GSM is my 'go to' guitar for all around quality. It's a poor man's MacPherson as far as I'm concerned. Buy one. You will not be disappointed!Read full review

I've owned this guitar since it was introduced in 1992. It's not a Jumbo body so it's a lot easier to play than the original Ovation design. He eq works fine but the volume knob is easy to turn by accident. Every now and then the instrument sounds wonky . Don't panic ! Its just the battery needs to be replaced. Don't trust the battery indicator light on the eq, its green even when the battery is weak. Disconnect the jack when not in use as the drains the battery prematurely. This really is the the most playable guitar you'll ever own.

I own three expensive Ovations and one Adamas. This guitar is an absolutely amazing deal. Very strong bass end with amazing projection. My one warning is that the Ovation Op tuner is 'crap': very unreliable. I first was concerned that the guitar was the problem or the tuners. Not so. Tuned it with my Korg tuner and this is one amazing instrument. Just forget about using the Op tuner. BUY IT!!!!

What a great guitar beautiful and unusual design with the AA Spruce Textured Finish the bass side sound holes you think would be very muted and bas tone dominated but I find it to sparkle well, it's cert as only made to plug in it enters a whole new level when plugged on but it is great as a acoustic unplugged guitar...refuses to go out of tune. 5 stars
