Thanks so much...

It looks like the serial number puts it at '66 but the artist-depth bowl was introduced a couple of years later. If it has a shiney back it's very early & is probably worth more than later examples, but generally Ovation acoustic-only nylon-strings don't fetch great prices.

Paul is correct it is an Artist Classic. But the serial number puts it well earlier than the introduction date of the Artist Classic. Somehow seems like the model number and the serial number don't go together. To my knowledge there were no shiny back Artist Classics.
