Location: San Francisco Bay Area | I am the original purchaser of an Ovation 1651 stereo acoustic guitar. I bought it new in March of 1982. I have pretty much shifted to playing mandolin and violin, and I made a deal with my wife that I could buy a new mandolin if I retired my guitar. Our house is full of musical instruments, so it was not an unreasonable request. It would be nice to see this guitar end-up in the hands of someone who could enjoy it as much as I have over the years. Thus, I have come to the OFC first.
It has a dark nutmeg finish, cream binding, gold tuners, a mono jack, a stereo jack and an ebony fretboard. I have kept it in the original hardshell case when not in use. In the last 27 years, I think only 2 or 3 other pairs of hands have beeen on this instrument. My guitar playing has always been a solitary exercise, so it has rarely been plugged into an amplifier. I replaced the 9 volt battery this morning, and gave it a test run connected to a Loudbox acoustic amplifier...It sounded great.
If anyone shows interest, I will try to take some pictures during the next few days. | |

Welcome. First, you may want to post this in the For Sale section. Pictures should be added as that will help us make our descision. Also, if you have a price in mind that would also help. | |

Thanks. I was new to the site, and meant to put the post up in the "For Sale" section. I quickly understood my error, but could not delete the original post. There is a longer string now in the correct area. Price is $699. | |
