Location: Taxed To Death State | As StandingO and Mark have stated, it really is a wonderfully made and sounding guitar. Only reason I am trying to sell it is because I got in a little to deep on a 78 Wide Neck Adamas. |

Here's the text copied from the Reverb ad:
"2011 Ovation Legend 1617-ALE Limited Edition Acoustic Guitar. Only 50 of these guitars were made and this one is #15. Guitar is brand new from my collection, unplayed, unmolested and virtually mint. No scratches, dents, dings or anything. Still has the original strings that is shipped with from the factory. These have an Adirondack Spruce top, Sunburst finish, maple neck, tortoise body and neck binding, OP Pro Studio Pre Amp. Sounds amazing, plays amazing. One of the finest wood tops to come out of New Hartford. Comes with COA, original case and all documents. See link for full specs. Not much else to say about this guitar except it is a real beauty and absolutely perfect in every way."
