| Howdy folks,
I've got an original Glen Campbell model#1127-4 100% acoustic (serial #017967) in it's original hard case. Bought it new about 20 years ago and rarely played it. No dings, no dents, no scratches but wood shows 20 years of age (it's been living in my closet). As soon as I can establish a fair price, I'll post some pics and hope somebody's interested. |

Location: Location Location Location | Hey captainmoto. This is my favorite Ovation model. I think that serial number puts the year at 1973. I'll defer to some here more experienced than me regarding the current value. I have a '69 which I paid $400 for, in ok condition about 2yrs ago, and I paid $250 this year for an '81 in excellent condition. Yeah, the market had changed. I'd love to see some pics. |

Or you could look at the photo of the sticker... :p
Ah... But it it actually a Refurbished item, or just have an FRG label put on it for Clearance Purposes?
I have a 40th Anniversary K-1111 that I bought truly used, but it has an FRG sticker.
(It had originally been a floor demo and then had one previous owner...)
But it is #006 in the series! Does this mean that they couldn't make SIX of them without screwing one up?
I believe that they just made some really spendy re-issues for us Old Farts...
Then the economy turned to ka-ka. :eek:
Damn shame that they cannot sell these guitars, even for that cheap...
They might do better if they included the Case! :mad: |

Location: SoCal | A VT braced GC Artist. Run from it. Run very fast from it. They sound horrible. Very plastic sounding.
Now, having given my personal opinion, I know people who love them. I don't know why, but play one before you buy it and decide for yourself.
In the early 80's, the GC Artists were given an A braced top. Then they became outstanding guitars in everybody's opinion..... |

That said, CaptainMoto has a different guitar than this. The one that started this thread is a six string artist bowl. I know lots of folks who have a different opinion than Moody, so don't take his word for it. Make up your own mind. But if it is a case queen, this could be a really nice guitar for somebody. This could be terrific as a Nashville strung guitar.
Welcome, MisterMoto (one of my favorite surf songs of all time). Get some pictures up when you can. I'll bet this thing is a beauty. |
