Guys,

I have an Ovation Custom Legend 1658 12 string and unfortunately it looks like I have to let it go. I had it sent to Ovation a few years back and totally restored to immaculate condition. I have all of the documentation from that. I was just wondering what the value of this guitar would be? I can post a few pictures later on tonight. I also have what I think they call the John Lennon model but I have to double check the number on that one as well. Any help valuing these is appreciated so I know where to ball park an asking price. Thanks!! Tony

I don't think the "John Lennon model" ever came in a 12 string, so don't let your search get sidetracked there. Just go with Custom Legend and 1658 and you should find some comparables.

They are actually two different guitars, I'll post some pictures later tonight.The twelve string is the custom Legend. The lennon is a 6. Thanks!

Wow, Jimmer, that's a beauty and those guitars sound LOVELY! Listing says it has a finish crack, but I could not see it in the photos ... great price actually, too!

It sure is a beaut... Looks a lot like my old 1657 Anniversary Legend but without the carvings.

Hey tonmazz - Still waiting for your pictures. I'm not sure I'm ready to buy another guitar just yet but I wouldn't mind drooling over pictures of your 12 string Custom Legend or the John Lennon 6 string.
