Thank's ! Here\'s one
The BIN is a bit spendy, but if it is in good condition it might be worth it to you.
Mostly we just get ours Rebuilt, or so it seems.
Got a 1615 here (edit---aw, just noticed a crack in the back of the headstock)
Good Hunting. |

I've got an Ovation 1615 (not for sale, sorry) but it's had a crack around the back of the neck for more than twenty years to my knowledge.
It worried me at first, but the guitar never goes out of tune, the intonation is fine right up the fretboard and it's tuned in concert pitch.
I honestly couldn't see any sort of repair - however good - on the neck staying in tune like that.
The early Ovations are well known for their laquer/varnish cracks, and mine's got a few of them, and I think the neck crack could be one. It's worse than the crack on that advert, as well - it goes right round.
Could be a cheap Ovation.

Musicgoround.com has a custom legend 12 string, 12 fret slothead. |

I appreciate your advise Bru, thank's !
Well, a few hours after posting this subject, I found a new babe which has nothing to see with a Pacemaker !
:D
It is a Parlor (Collector '97 model) !
So I used my "guitars' budget" for the rest of the year !
:D
But the Pacemaker is still on my "to buy list" ! So I won't forget your advices.
I'm very happy !
And I thank Andrew for its kindness !

Location: SoCal | No one can beat the price that Nils paid for his Pacemaker (after reimbursement from UPS)...however, I have bought 1618 GC a/e for $385 in wonderful condition (sometimes listed for $750). The two slothead 12's that I have kept are the 1658 Custom Legend. I have two 1658's, one 1659, and the 6759. Not just the bling...worth trying to find.
Sorry, not the greatest picture but this is one of my 1658's:

Location: SoCal | In 1980, there on a wall was a darksunburst acoustic Custom Legend 1158 12-str, fresh from NAMM. At that time, I was playing a Martin. At first, so much bling I didn't even want to try it. Frankly, I was worried that it wouldn't fit in with the other wood boxes that were in the group. Pushed into trying it by the guitar shop owner, I was impressed (to say the least). Went back three days in a row, finally bought it.
Never regreted buying it...playability, reliability, and voice. |

Congrats! Is the Parlor a narrow or wide neck model?
If you should include a Pacemaker in the next year's guitar budget don't hesitate to contact me. I have a very early 1115-4 model with winged bridge which I might possibly sell next year.
