Up for sale is my 1972 Ovation Folklore model

The guitar has quite a history, which is too long to put in a single post, but it has undergone some repair work at the Ovation factory with a refinish and installation of modern electronics as well.

the serial number is 002987 which according to Ovation archives is consistent with early 1972.

The headstock has the typical wear and tear you would expect from a 37 year old instrument, the original Ovation logo has even worn off.

The basic specs are as follows...

1 7/8 nut width
12 fret neck
deep bowl
slim C neck (not 100% sure about that, email for more info)

The guitar sounds as you would expect a well aged guitar to, rich, full, mature, and round.

here are a few pics, if I get enough interest I'll post more or if you want more send me a PM

Asking price is 900$ due to the newer electronics in it. If that's too much someone please notify me.

Looks like a crack in the heel in the second photo.
