| Passed by the pawn shop on my way home this evening and spied an Ovation in the window. Of course, I immediately made the detour and had to look. It's a Celebrity GC157 and by the serial # it was made in 1992. It has a couple of dings and has what looks like a hair crack in the finish between the head stock and the neck. No idea on the electronics, though I don't use an amp on my 1615. I know it's not a top-of-the line Ovation but with those inlaid wood epaulets, it did look sweet! Can anyone comment on playing that particular model? Good, bad, impressions? Tim (Moscow, Idaho) |

I found this forum when I was looking at a similar Celebrity. I didn't buy it, but kind of went overboard on other Ovations.
