Location: Texas | With the factory up and running again and the cream of the crop (new) going for sub 4K, it seems a little wishful to start out at that price point. |

Value to a potential buyer is a very personal and subjective thing. There is a (very) short list of Ovations that would separate me from five grand and no disrespect but a black 87 Collector isn't on that list. |

Location: Cologne/Germany | Thanks OMA! Did not find it because it doesn't say elite in the description...
I loved black guitars all my life, possibly due to Gibson's Les Paul Custom Black Beauty, and I like the -5 O's as well....
This was a nice run beside the natural version of 87C. But the price is... uhhhh.... optimistic!?
At least we got to see the pictures... |

Location: Boise, Idaho | The 87C is one of the best and the black ones comprised a small percentage of them. I'm not a fan of black guitars, mostly because I can't keep them clean, so the relative rarity was not a draw for me. My 87C is now my daughter's and I hope that the market value skyrockets so she can sell it for a bunch of money after I die. |

Location: When?? | Nice. Very nice. Really nice. Extra nice. BUT... if I were to send Pepiak $5k and tell him to choose something(s) nice to send back, when the box arrived I'm pretty certain its contents would make me happier than this would.
PS: Right, Al?

So she will probably keep it even 'after'. Maybe the grandchildren won't....
Guess my guitars will all go to ebay someday.... |
