Location: Port Saint Lucie Florida | Owned a few guitars, but since I bought my first ovation... That's all I've owned since.
I love being the radical with the unique Ovation design.
Love the sound and play-ability.
The reason I ending up finding this site is because I was looking for the value of an Ovation I purchased about 20 years ago. I now need to sell to help pay for my son's college.
It's a Ovation 12 string model 1658.
Great site, loaded with incredible information.
Looking forward to educating myself on the Ovations I now own.

Location: Keepin' It Weird in Portland, OR | That is the Slothead 12 string (that is Not a Pacemaker), correct?
There was one listed on REVERB for $1250.
I don't know if it sold for that much, but that sounds like a fair estimate.
Of course, condition matters on such things.
Also the current market and phase of the Moon.

I will have to look up what a pacemaker looks like.
Pretty sure it's a Custom Legend.
As soon as my status changes I will post some pics.
I have always felt that this guitar is much better than I deserve.
I am self taught and wish I had taken lessons years ago.
That doesn't mean I don't enjoy playing it.
While searching for information on this model, it doesn't appear much on ebay.
I was stunned the price was as high as it was.
I think I made a great investment.
I just got another Ovation model 1617.
I love playing it. It plays much better than my Ovation Matrix.
The Matrix is a tank. It rarely goes out of tune. The aluminum neck is rock solid.
Finding this Forum/Club will certainly get the guitar in caring capable hands that will enjoy playing it.
I did not see a serial number on the inside. It appears black where the serial number usually is.
Of course I didn't know where to look until I got the 1617.
Enjoying the incredible knowledge that is available on this Forum/Club.
Look forward to keeping up to date and increasing my Ovation knowledge. |

How do you tell the difference from a Custom Legend and a Pacemaker?
My Model is 1658... could that still be a pacemaker?
Let the education begin!
Thanks,
Mr. Ed |

Location: Keepin' It Weird in Portland, OR | This is a 1115 Pacemaker...
Also available with a pickup. A fancier 1118 is the Glen Campbell model.
Yours has fancier fret markers. Curlicues on the bridge and TRC. And a mustache at the sound hole.
So the 1658 is a Custom Legend, and a Pacemaker is a Pacemaker.
Although really... a 1658 is just a really fancy Pacemaker... they just don't call it that.

That's why I'm here!!!
You guys know the nuances of each model!
By the pics, and your info...
I for sure have the Custom Legend.
When you said the mustache... I ran right over and opened up the case!
A mustache indeed!
That's exciting to know what I have!
I'm not worthy!!!
Thanks for the education!
