Location: CT | Very strange listing, titled only as "Ovation - Hand carved Limited Edition" -- Judging by the look of the bridge and tan case, looks like an older one, no S#, lousy pics, but looks worth investigating - I would if I had the cash..

Location: CT | I believe you are correct, lanakai. The bridge looks wider than the normal 6-ers. |

Location: Colorado | Two red flags for me on this one. First, that is a Colorado area code in the phone number. Second, cash only. This may be legit, but I'd be cautious here. |

Location: Blue Ridge Mountains | I have all of the pictures she has...guitar has serious finish chips on back of neck: possibly from improvised guitar stands (dressers, chairs, brick walls, etc.) and a discoloration about 1 inch long between the left epi and edge trim near neck. She is selling because her new boyfriend bought her a guitar (which brand she does not know...???)...she says the neck is too large for her to play...she also says she broke up with her boyfriend who collects guitars...???
So, proceed at your own risk? |

Location: Blue Ridge Mountains | There is an area of damage to the top above the left Epi: it looks like the finish is missing from an area about one inch in length by 1/2 inch in width...Bari denies it but it is visible on all of the pictures of the top...That along with the damage to the back of the neck makes this too much for me; along with a pressure to put this on a credit card...I'm guessing about $300 for the neck repair/refinishing and I doubt if the top damage can be fixed...so I'm out...email me for pic's if you want them (include your email). Shame, its a nice guitar that was not taken care of very well.
