I sold this a ways back and the shippers did what they do best; put a big ol' finish crack in the top. It's a darn shame.
I was planning on re-building it, but things are just too tight right now, so I have to move a guitar or two...maybe four....we'll see.
Other than the finish crack (I don't think it goes through, and it seems stable at tension.), the guitar is just as described in the original "For Sale" thread seen here:
Ovation 1669 Custom Legend For Sale, and It's a Beauty!! I no longer have the case, but I will pad and double-box it for shipping. The only other thing that's changed is the price. Because of this guy's change in fortune, I'll knock a full $300 of the original price. So we are looking at $545 shipped! It's got fresh Lifespan lights on it and is ready to go. If you need a great-looking and even-better-sounding stage or busking guitar, you can't beat this deal. From a few feet away it looks almost new. And the sound is stellar all around! There are lots of photos in the original ad, but here are two from today in my office. One shows how nice it looks next to my custom O's. And the other is a close up of the crack. Thanks for looking everyone, and there may well be more to come, though nothing similar to this one. If I decide to move more, I don't want them competing with each other.

I've already got a CL that I'm happy with, so I'm not really in the market for one right now.
GLWTS!

Location: Jet City | This particular era of Legend is one of my favorite. I had a 1667 that eventually ended up with Alison after I got the Al DiMeola, and I miss it terribly. The thing was one of the best sounding Ovations I've ever played. I have no idea why, but they are different than all other Legends because it was a transitional model. They're the FIRST Legend models with a cutaway. They used a deep bowl and literally cut away the lower bout and glued a second piece in to finish the bowl. They did this until they had the new cutaway molds ready. Cool guitar. And great price where it is already. I doubt I sold the 1667 for much less.

Location: SoCal | What you do is have it sent to the Mothership. They can redo the top and put in an OP Pro. Then you'd have a first class gigging guitar. I keep thinking of doing that with a 1667. Gotta find one first...... |

Any offers? |

Location: Jet City | I can't believe this is still for sale. There's NOTHING that looks as sweet as a black Custom Legend under stage lights.
I have my Al DiMeola, but truth be told, the 1667 I had sounded WAY better.
This would be an awesome giggin guitar. I put an Op50 in the 1667 and it was my main stage guitar until the AD.

Location: Steeler Nation, Hudson Valley Contingent | After lots of back and forth with a member or two, the time has finally come to put this one on the block. I have scheduled the auction on eBay to begin Tuesday night with no reserve. I will post a link when it goes live....
....unless of course someone would rather just buy it here? |
