Vintage 1970's Ovation Eclipse 1235-5 (Pre-Owned) w/ Case
This vintage, extremely rare, Ovation Storm Series 1970's Eclipse 1235-5 Hollowbody is a sight for sore eyes! The entire guitar, down to the pickguard, is made with the classic Ovation Lyrachord material. It's in very-good to excellent condition based on its age. Guitar has a few incredibly minor scuffs on the back and sides and play-marks on the pickguard (see pictures), but otherwise in phenomenal shape! A few of the frets have some play-wear, but nothing the affects the notes or intonation. Guitar is 100% all-original. Comes with chipboard case which is also in remarkable shape for it's age.
This guitar was part of Ovation's "Storm" series of guitars which also included the Tornado, Thunderhead, and Typhoon Bass models. The Eclipse 1235-5 is a double-cutaway, semi-hollow body guitar with dual F-holes. It is characterized by its unique textured black Lyrachord finish, a material also used on the back of some contemporary Ovation acoustic guitars.
