I'm trying to get an idea of what my custom legend might be worth. It's in very good to excellent condition. Cutaway. OP24 (I think) electronics. Nice gaudy inlay on the fingerboard, around the top and around the soundhole. Gold tuners. Carved bridge (Frank U said he hated them but then they were used on the 30th anniversary model! Ha!). Cadillac Greenburst. Finish crack in top at the factory and repaired before it was sold to me (I'm the original owner). I'm guessing it's not worth selling (it's a killer guitar), but thought I'd try to see what it might be worth as I have too many guitars around here.

David,

Don't know about Cadillac Greenburst...Kelly green would excite some of the Irish here. Any pictures?

Is it a 1669 or a 1769 (Ovation shows 1769 as Optima)?? My 1669 has the stacked vol/tone knobs.

Any idea of what price you are looking for? Some of us like "gaudy inlay" and carved bridge ;)

Anyone who reads this...David sold me his Preacher Deluxe 12 a few months ago. Must tell you he takes such good pictures, makes it look WORSE than it actually is...thought I was getting a guitar with some problems - not. Good seller.

Al: I see you're feeling a little better. ;-)

This one has the pickup system with the built in tuner, notch filter etc... not one of the old ones with the stacked knobs. I had one of those in the 80's.

I decided to pass the Adamas SMT to a friend (and no Al, I'm not making any money and it's going to take him 6 weeks to pay me for it!). It's the absolute perfect guitar for him. Check out his band at: www.savingjane.com

I really liked the Adamas in many ways, but I'm really set for plugging in and I'm just too fond of my Martins and Taylors. I just didn't think the Adamas added anything that I needed at this point. I'm feeling a little overwhelmed with too many guitars right now. I have a few I need to sell....
