1978 Ovation Preacher
For those who love vintage, rare, electrics, I have been told how unusually rare it is to even know about this model. Accordingly, most I do actually talk to when in to have the yearly maintenance at my Nashville guitar heaven, I always am also told about electric and "Ovationphiles" who have been looking for this model for up to 30 years. I have yearly maintenance on complete guitar and store it in its beautiful-ghastly orange/taupe protective, original case inside a climate controlled closet space. It's almost like someone found this guitar, in mint condition, but, it's been maintained and cared for, even though not played but about an hour in 30 years. It has a warm,slightly darker than usual, sunburst appearance, and the Gold bridge and tuning keys look great set in this type finish. On the back is a thick plate of silver at the stock that's got an engraved image of the bell-bottomed, high collared "PREACHER" playing his axe. Underneath his boots, is a low # that I'm sure was in the first, and maybe, only Edition Produciton. The fact that it sounds great dry, led to me actually finding out what dry meant, because of the three position tones produced. It's also got a silver strip that houses TWO 1/4 " outs, 1 engraved mono, the other stereo.
