Location: Fla | I'm confused. :confused: I bought my guitar new in Aug 1989. The registration form that came with it says it is the Ultra series. Inside is a sticker that says:
OVATION
398011
Also there is a sticker that lists the Model No as 4861.
When I looked on ovationguitars.com under the 4 digit code it says the first number is always 1. Under the 6 digit code there is a gap between 1989 and 1990 that excludes my number. Under the Adamas code the 4 digit model number shows the year 1989.
It is a shallow bowl cutaway with abalone(?)trim around the sound hole. It has no other marks to distinguish "model" or "made in USA" etc. I saw somewhere that the first digit 4 means Pacific Rim. Is this a Korean guitar? Any ideas?

Location: The Great Pacific Northwest | I believe that the Ultra series is made in Korea, but maybe someone else can verify. If it is, then the model and serial information we have on this site won't help. |

Thanks for the reply. You have a really nice BB here. The people are amazingly helpful and knowledgable. What exactly does it mean if I have a Korean Ovation? Are they manufactured by someone else and sold by Ovation or are they more like the Fender Mexican series...cheaper labor & materials but still basically a Fender? Does Ovation still make some models in Korea? Thanks again. |
