Description
The Ovation 1773AX-4 Timeless Classic is a nylon-string guitar built for musicians who don’t fit neatly into one category. Part of Ovation’s Pro Series, it’s designed to satisfy jazz players, flamenco stylists, classical purists, and Latin guitarists alike, all while delivering serious plugged-in performance for the stage.
- Mid-Depth bowl blends Ovation’s Super-Shallow and Deep Bowl designs for rich tone and strong projection without the bulk
- Comfortable to hold even for smaller-framed players, despite its acoustic punch
- Neck is slightly narrower than a traditional classical guitar, easing the transition for steel-string players exploring nylon strings
- Complete freeboard access for extended reach up the neck
- Proprietary Lyra chord bracing and Ovation’s signature round back construction help it cut through a mix, whether in an unplugged living-room setting or through a full concert PA
Onboard electronics come from the OP-Pro preamp system, developed with input from Al Di Meola and Melissa Etheridge. It’s straightforward to operate, featuring a 3-band EQ, a preset tone-shaping circuit, a battery status indicator, and a built-in chromatic tuner. The result is a nylon-string that translates naturally from bedroom practice to amplified performance, without demanding a steep learning curve on the controls.
Finished in Natural, the 1773AX-4 carries forward Ovation’s reputation for guitars that outperform conventional flat-top designs, giving discerning players a genuine hybrid instrument built for real-world gigging.
