Would suggest you list the price you want for it...always seems to work best in this format. Good luck, I miss mine...wonderful instrument. |

I'm asking $1,000 plus shipping...(from here in Texas to anywhere is usually 35-40 bucks.) Since getting mine from eBay I have had it out of the case no more than twice. I do not do the guitar justice as I play rythm and not much finger-style which I understand is outstanding on this guitar. If you recall, this guitar came from a music store in the southeast, so I am the initial owner. This guitar should go to someone who knows and appreciates what a FD-14 Folklore Deluxe is. I'm making room for my "Bluebird" 12-string being put together by Wayne O'connor up in Canada. I found a Mint Deacon 12 sometime ago and Wayne has made a body for me. I just counted 15 guitar cases on the other side of my home office, most of them Ovation of course.

Location: Louisville, OH 44641 | I bought Tony's FD 14 and what a sweet guitar it is. My whole family enjoys it.
Also, I was able to email Dave O, who builds guitars @ Ovation to ask him his opinion of the FD 14. This man builds lots and lots of guitars and mando's at the Mother Ship. There were only 50 made and he was so impressed, he bought one. Now Dave and I have something in common.
In addition, think about what a rare find of a guitar this is. It's sure to go up in value. But don't buy it for the investment. Buy it for the love. You won't be sorry.
PS: It's better acoustically than it is plugged in.

Location: SoCal | The FD 14 is on my short list of "Gonna Have Someday" guitars. Unfortunately, I just bought another guitar on the list, and I'm still waiting for the OFC guitar. So it's not just that I'm not in the market right now, I can't be in the market right now. Not and stay married. |

Dave: "Yup"
Guest: "Where's the equalizers and stuff?"
Dave: "Ain't got em"
Guest: "Fancy Abalonley Inlays?"
Dave: "Ain't got em"
Guest: "Classical headstock, eh?"
Dave: "Yup"
Guest: "Wide little neck on this puppy"
Dave: "Yup"
Guest: "No cutaway, huh?"
Dave: "Nope"
Guest: "Well, let me give her a strum"
Dave: "Be careful"

Oh yeah, that's right. There's so much GAS around here that anything acquired more than 2 weeks back fades into "old news". I'd like to see the pictures when you post them ... I remember a little from the eBay ad but yours will no doubt be better.
As for me, my GAS attack is nearly over ... just waiting for one more to show up and then I'll be done for a while. |

Sounds to me like you're getting away nearly scot-free. And once the granite's in, you can probably go on a SONAR-free buying spree. :) |

Actually collection is less than half what it was 2 years ago. All solidbodies, legends, pacemakers, elites, and collectors are gone. I'm down to the "bare essentials" - plus a "few" ukuleles. |

Methinks Messrs Bush and Chirac could learn a thing or two about international cooperation and achieving bi-lateral benefits ... from the two of you.
With those jingles rolling around in my head from that other thread, all is can think is "I'd like to teach the world to sing, in perfect harmony ..."
Just goes to show what a great place this board really is. |
