Location: Yalova/Turkey | This is offered on evilbay Germany (starting bid 1 Euro), seems to be USA-made and looks good...
I couldn´t find any information on this model on Ovatianguitars, not even in the archive... |

Location: Yalova/Turkey | According to other sources in the web it should have a super shallow body, walnut top and been made around 1994. Guess its sound unplugged wouldn´t be very good. OP24 without tuner! |

Location: Yalova/Turkey | Did you ask for the link to the auction on Ebay Germany? This would be:
http://cgi.ebay.de/Gitarre-Ovation_W0QQitemZ130308858978QQcmdZViewItemQQptZGitarren?hash=item1e57036462&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=66%3A2%7C65%3A10%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318%7C301% 3A1%7C293%3A1%7C294%3A50
Just in case you don´t speak German: Seller says that he stowed it away a long time without loosing the strings, resulting in 5 mm high strings on the 7th fret. Since the top doesn´t seem to have moved it would seem the neck got warped or has a bow. Might be fixed with the rod.
Regards,
Chris. |

Location: Yalova/Turkey | Well, if anybody cares for translations from German to English regarding guitars I´ll do my best to help y´all... German is my native language, and I´ll try to produce intelligible English :) |

Location: Yalova/Turkey | @ dweezil: If it sells for 50 Euros I´d take the risk :) 1 Euro was just the starting bid, and it´s up for 9 days. |

Location: Yalova/Turkey | Too bad I live in Turkey, ´cause Frankfurt/Germany is my hometown, would be wonderful to visit this guy and look at the guitar in order to find out whether its just the neck... :( |

Location: Yalova/Turkey | By the way, there is another nice one on Ebay Germany, seemingly without any troubles:
http://cgi.ebay.de/Ovation-6756-LX-12String-Elektro-Akustikgitarre-NEU_W0QQitemZ290318462671QQcmdZViewItemQQptZGitarren?hash=item4398542ecf&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=66%3A2%7C 65%3A10%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318%7C301%3A0%7C293%3A1%7C294%3A50
Not a killer bargain, but nice... :) |

I had a the 6 string 5868 and the 12 string would have made a nice companion for it but I sold it to make way for a 1881. |

Location: Latitude 39.56819, Longitude -105.080066 | I owned one. Played like a dream (don't all Ovation 12s) but was very thin sounding when unplugged. Amped up it was great. |

Any information about Elite 5858 12-string?
