Where are serial numbers?

The seller has no idea. I asked what the model was and she said it must have fallen off! Could some kind soul direct me as to where to tell her to look. Also I have no idea what the market is like. How would I value second hand Ovations? Standingovation Posted 2002-06-24 7:54 AM (#343863 - in reply to #343862) Subject: Re: Where are serial numbers?

It's unlikely this would have fallen off 3. stamped on the back of the headstock Price for a used Legend will depend mostly on condition. I would expect to pay $400 on up. The electronics on the older ones tend to be pretty bad with age in my opinion.
