Location: SoCal		If anybody is interested in a great guitar at a fraction of the cost of the new Ovation (I'd buy it if I had the extra funds).....

Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains		Looks to be in good shape, too. Not sure how accurate the year is. I have a 1981 model of this guitar and the serial number is 24XXXX whereas this one is 27XXXX. That matters little since these were only offered for a short time in the early 1980s.

Location: New Hartford CT		Note how well the neck body is blended into the back of the headstock, perfect transition. The headstock edges are also beautifully raw sanded.

Lots of manual labor from skilled hands and a great era for Ovation.

Location: Right now?		It's beautiful. It will be interesting to see how much it ends up selling for. Someone is getting a real gem.

Location: Flahdaw		It's purdy, no doubt. But the seller is a fancy dancy jewelry store. Probably has an unrealistic reserve on this guitar
