Location: Keepin' It Weird in Portland, OR | Yeah, I saw that when freshly listed. I kinda figgered that you don't really need a Reserve or a BIN on something like that.
Just curious to see where it goes... |

Also, I seem to remember 75 not 200 :confused: |

On the other hand, if it sells for 1200.00 & change, there will be a lot of people kicking themselves in the posterior! (me included) :eek: |

(you guys need t'study more)
In answer to the brace question . . . don't let it happen ;-)
(the originals have been around for 30+ years so far, and as far as I know, none of 'em(yet) have needed to have it done) |

Location: Tennessee | That was fun to watch. $600 worth of sniping in the last 15 seconds. Glad to see it break $3K. Might seem a bit low, but we all know the history of Ovation products in the secondary market. This is almost 90% of what new ones were/are going for. |

Thanks Stonebobbo; I know it and that's why I bid what I did: the seller did not respond to my emails about the pickup installation; I am sure he tapped out the endpin hole and not sure about the original endpin; Earlier posts discussed how this might affect the value...I think that is still up in the air...maybe in 10 years it may make a difference...Still, its a really nice guitar. I did notice that the seller noted in the ad that the item only shipped to United States... :eek:
NP, there always more guitars... ;)

Location: Blue Ridge Mountains | Thats cool...here is a post from the seller who just got back to me: The original endpin was replaced with the input jack for the pickup. The hole was slightly enlarged to fit the new jack. Thanks for your interest.
NP provation, FYI only; Congrats!
