I am looking to find out some information about a guitar. A friends son passed and wants to sell it. The info she gave me is that the model # is 1612-4. From what I have found, its a deluxe baladeer standard bowl 5 13/16", acoustic electric roundback in a natural finish. I haven't seen it yet soI am just doing some resarch. she says that it is like brand new with a case. Can anyone help me with what it could be worth at an approximate value. I know it can range from here to there , I just want to know if the info is correct and an approximate price. Thanks everyone, Kaazzooo

Hello Kaazzooo,

You've got a Custom balladeer and price can go in the $300 - $400 range.

Here's a newer (80's up) one with a buy-it-now of $325....

If you can find out the serial # that can pin down the year (close) - and post a picture if possible!

If you're going to eBay, be advised that old Ovations seem to be going relatively cheap of late....I'd suspect that you'll be hard put to get over $300 out of it (assuming no cracks in the top, no problems) unless you have several GOOD pictures. One picture from a distance or blurry pictures won't cut it.
