Location: Nashville TN.		I have seen them for sale as low as $200 needing lots of work to $1200 for Lizard skin finish.
Average is about $4oo to $500 with typical wear.
The case sounds orginal. Preamp should be OP-24.
The Thunderbolt is the best neck I ever played on acoustic or electric.
I have had one since new.
I would never part with it.
They sound great too especially with Adamas strings.

Location: Minden, Nebraska		Welcome to the board. In my opinion, a Thunderbolt with the original case has extra value. The headstock design will not fit a normal Ovation SSB case due to the extended angle for the 6 inline tuners.

What color is yours?
