Wow, very rare!
I've got it on my watch list (I'm dreaming..)
I wonder how it compares to the 1758?
Capo Guy, check it out!...

Yeah, I've only seen a few of these over the years. If you've got a s/b 1537 this would make a nice matching pair.

I'll predict buy-it-now will end the auction early.
Ovation didn't make many of these. This is 'beyond collectible'.

That's too nice of a cat to keep in a bag. Hopefully someone here gets it.

The look of the sunburst 1538 is stunning. I purchased mine (near mint condition) one year ago for $1000 from an OFC member.

I love 12-stringers and I always wanted two of them: A carbon-top Adamas 1688 and a wood-top 1538. Different sounds which complement each other.

Someone here should grab it. You won't regret it.

It's beautiful; but I still love my custom 1990 1758-6p...

I'd love to be able to a/b them...can't see how it could be better than this 12 string...
This is the finest I've played: better than my original...




Still, best wishes to whomever gets it!

Congratulations Serge!!
It's a rare and so nice guitar.
Surely one of the nicest Ovation 12S ever built.
