I need help determining what model number Ovation I have. It's serial number is 345649. It says it is an Ultra Deluxe but the number inside has been scraped off accidentally.(it was typed and glued on inside middle) According to the charts and serial number it was made between 1985 and 1986 but it is a cutaway and has a shallow bowl. Can anyone help me determine what model number it is? Thanks! :confused:

Probably a 1528. Korean made. The serial number would not map to the US serial number chart. It's likely the guitar is from the 90's.

There WAS a USA made Ultra Deluxe, but it was only made here in 1984, and the seial numbers of the USA made O's from 1984 range from 302760-339187. The USA made Ultra Deluxe had a model # 1317. They Started also in 1984, making them overseas. The overseas Ultra Deluxe is model # 1517. I believe that is what you have.

Yep, 1517 = deep bowl. I had one.
I'm with Bobbo, 1528.
