I inherited an ovation Custom Legend 1619 a few years ago when my old man passed away. I recently decided to play guitar so i picked and got it restrung etc. (it hasnt been used in years).
I was wandering if you could help me to find out what year it it is and how much it is worth etc. I dont plan on selling it but im really interested in finding out. Advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

you'll need the serial number to get a ballpark date of mfr.

Welcome to the 'O' hive mind!

Go HERE for serial number data.

BTW, you have a fine guitar!

Since it has sentimental value and you're not going to sell it, why worry about the price?

Check past eBay auctions for that particular year/model Ovation.

It'll give you a "loose" idea . . .

Cuz it's fun to say, "This is a $1789 guitar, but I got it for $321 (plus shipping)" :cool:
