Location: Upper Left USA | Up for your consideration is a 1967 Balladeer, serial #1096. A beautiful piece of history featuring the three board Spruce top and handlaid glass bowl. This instrument came to me without tuners and a dinged up top. It was sent to Mother where John and company did everything possible to bring it back to life and retain the original neck, top and bowl. The Bridge was replaced at the factory. I have recently performed a bowl bend and the action is very good. Low E to fret at the 12th Fret measures 3/32". This is no longer a wall hanger! The sound is crisp and articulated! Check out the photos, its not pristine but it is beautiful and play well. Serial number 1096 places it as being made November of 1967. http://www.ovationfanclub.com/megabbs/photos/photo-thumbnails.asp?albumid=1203&useralbum=2043 Shipped in a newer premium case. I am asking 1000.00 US Your chance to own and play history...

Location: Phoenix AZ | This is actually a rare one with the one piece neck probably worth well more than the asking price. I sold one long ago just like it, but with the black rosette and white chain/grapes only to find out later what I had actually had and not realized it. Good luck with the sale. Somebody is getting a very collectable guitar. |

Location: Keepin' It Weird in Portland, OR | Woody, there has been a shiny bowl with a cracked top on eBay for a while.
That one, the price just keeps getting lower.
People are just getting used to bargain prices, especially on eBay.
This is why I haven't listed anything in a while.
I know that isn't helpful... Just an observation.
