Location: Rocky River, Ohio | Hi everyone...
Anybody out there have an Ovation Parlor they would like to sell?
I was considering a 1997 collectors, but I've grown to like the standard headstock that the 5741's used rather than the slotted.
I guess Ovation made only a few of these. Probably from the bowls left over of the 97 collectors. And I think they were available in a brown sunburst.
Let me know, thanks !

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you. |

Here is a thread from 2005 that touched on the different Parlor variations.
There was even an elite styled one (PPG8-X).

I wonder if Ovation has any more of those parlor bowls in the shop?...
John at Ovation told me once they could still get the cases that will fit the parlor from SKB.
It's been at least 2 years since I saw one on Ebay... |

Location: Marlton, NJ | Maybe I'm having deja vu, but I seem to recall a recent thread where a guitar that was on ebay was mentioned where the pics were a little screwy - regular head from the front, slothead from the back... this one seems to have the same issue.
One pic shows the guitar from the front with the regular headstock and then there are front and back shots with the slotted headstock. AND - the front shot against the fence is the regular head, the backshot against the same fence is slotted - and then another slotted against a different backdrop.
Time for bed...
BTW - this is a crappy post for my 500th! I'll have to plan something better for 1000.
P.S. - What was in the boooooooooox??? |

Give them the benefit of the doubt...
Maybe they got so many Ovations and so many photos... NOT! |

Location: NW Washington State | I bought a UKII neck and body from desparicio, the seller of the parlor guitar item #300072208502, a few months ago. It arrived with no problem and pretty much as described. I haven't assembled it so the neck hasn't been tested.
The weird auction showing the slothead front and 12 string back is item #110079286508.

Location: Rocky River, Ohio | I asked the seller if he has the original case.
It just says Ovation hardshell.
Description and photos have been updated a couple of times.
A new case for the 97 collector or the parlor is about 250 dollars, according to John B a couple of years ago.
For the asking price, I would hope it has the special parlor size case.
