As a repairman, I perform maintenance, adjustments, and repairs to ensure that even beginners can play comfortably and enjoy the instrument. The Tornado series was the first Ovation-type electric-acoustic guitar to be born in Japan. This X is a prototype from 1980, making it a rare and valuable piece. The original price at the time was around ¥60,000. It features a spruce top and an APS graphite body structure. It has a unique original microphone built into the base of the neck, and a simple volume and tone control system on the side of the neck that doesn't require batteries. The string height is low, making it easy to play, and the red color would suit women well. It has a see-through red finish, a distinctive headstock design, striking position inlays on the fretboard, and a serial number at the end of the fretboard. The neck has a volute for added strength, and the tuners are reliable Gotoh rotomatic tuners with the Morris stamp. I believe this is a well-crafted instrument down to the details. The sound is a brilliant and impressive Ovation-type sound with excellent clarity, producing a beautiful tone. As it is a 40-year-old instrument, there are some minor scratches on the body top and the back of the neck. The surface finish on the top had some cracks, which have been repaired. There are also some minor scratches on the back of the neck, but they are not deep and did not cause any discomfort during testing. Please refrain from purchasing if you are overly concerned about minor imperfections, as this is a used instrument. Returns are not accepted unless there is a significant defect.
