I have an Ovation that is a 1997 Collector's edition in almost new condition. It has an unbelieveable sound from a parlor sized guitar. I wanted to know more about it so I called Ovation with the serial number and left a message for the customer service reps. Both john and kim returned my call (pretty good service)They were able to provide confirmation that the guitar was a 97 collector and I found that the neck width at the nut is 1 7/8" (wide neck version)they informed me only 233 of these were ever made. Thats all the info they could provide.
Does anyone know more about this model, it's history, value, true rareness and the real reason to offer two neck widths in this model?
Thanks in advance.

I searched the internet first which is what got me here. Thanks though. Anyway, just trying to learn a little more before I sell it. I've got bills and a kid's tuition and have to start saving for fall semester. I love this guitar and its amazing how much quality went into the build and attention to detail. I'm also surprized by the spot on intonation up and down the neck. The voicing both strummed and fingerpicked was why I bought it. Thanks for the responses.
