Used Ovation PREACHER WITH ORIGINAL CASE Electric Guitars Sunburst

Ovation Preacher (1973) – Original Hardshell Case

Overview:

This vintage Ovation Preacher dates from 1973 and showcases the distinctive craftsmanship and tone Ovation was known for in the late ’70s/early ’80s. Its unique body shape delivers bright, articulate sound that works beautifully in both studio and live settings.

Features:

• Original 1973 Ovation Preacher
• Original electronics with one modification: a period-matching DiMarzio PAF Pro added in the neck position
• Middle pickup position is out of phase due to the neck pickup mod
• All other electronics work as intended
• Comes with original hardshell case (hinge is broken but still closes and protects the guitar)

Condition:

• This Ovation Preacher is in very good to excellent condition, with only a few minor dings consistent with age and use. Fully playable and well-maintained, it’s a great choice for collectors or players seeking a classic Ovation tone with a unique character.

✅ Item Condition & Testing

All used gear is fully tested when it comes into our shop and again before shipping, so you can buy with confidence. Any included accessories will be shown in the photos, and if there are any functional issues, they’ll always be noted in the listing. Since these are used items, you can expect normal cosmetic wear that doesn’t always show up clearly in pictures. Everything we sell is also available to try in-store, so a little extra demo wear may be present.

? Shipping Info

We ship to the contiguous 48 states with flat-rate pricing that usually covers the maximum cost (including insurance). If the shipping looks high, send us your ZIP and we’ll get you a more accurate estimate. Orders outside the lower 48 may require additional processing and shipping costs — please reach out before ordering.

Some larger or fragile items (like big amps, drum kits, or cabs) may not have a shipping option listed because they’re safest for local pickup. If you’re not sure, just contact us and we’ll confirm if it can be shipped.

↩️ Returns

You have 48 hours from delivery to let us know if you’d like to return an item. Buyer covers return shipping, and a 20% restocking fee applies per store policy. If you’re unsure about an item, feel free to message us first — we’re happy to answer questions and make sure you’re confident before purchasing.

? Order Issues

If your order isn’t going through, check that your billing and shipping addresses match — that’s the most common issue. If you run into any problems, reach out and we’ll help you get it sorted.
