With more wear than mine.. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3704880560&category=33029 The white top as far as I can tell is not too common... I'm wondering what the ovation repair gurus would do to fix thing thing up... Would it have to be retopped?... I want a guitar for the office and I love my little 1976 Balladeer 1111-6 so much I wouldn't mind having another.. Thanks so much... This place has more information on it than I could have ever imagined!

The cosmetics may add to a lower price and you wouldn't have to change your name (see customlegendguy). If it really does play "like new" with no offset to action it could be a wonderful "office" guitar. BUT: I would too often be bothered with thoughts of having it repaired at probably 2 times the cost to obtain it! If you could just leave it and use it I'd go for it!
