Saw this on eBay today? This guy has NO CLUE!

OVATION ELITE 12-STRING???

You'd think if they were gonna post something they'd want it to be correct.

Actually Craig, he got it right. In a June 1985 fold out color catalog, I've got listed model 1736, the Legend Elite 12 string, providing "many of the features of the Elite guitar, but at a more affordable price. The rosewood fingerboard is complimented by two piece epaulets of walnut and padauk."

I don't think it lasted more than a year or so and was probably the forerunner of the Elite Standard.

Not the first odd name for an Ovation, even if not a misidentification in this case. Some ARE either clueless or shameless. I routinely see ads for Celebrity Elite, Celebrity Adamas, Elite Adamas, etc.

What cool new model name combinations might WE come up with???
