I wonder if it really is an Ovation, even the fretmarkers are different!
Good Catch!!  |

(the bridge seems a bit off center....)

Location: When?? | Interesting enough and probably a cool find. The photos look good, but it would be nice to see a close-up of the crack in the top. Maybe that's why the ad includes a "make offer" button. |

Couldn't find anything on Japanese websites, but there's apparently more than one of these in the world. Interesting. It must have been a very small build. The neck inlays look more like USA Elite fair. I'm gonna keep digging over here... |

That's not bad for a 5-piece neck, wooden inlay fret board markers, and wooden binding/purfling. If the rosette doesn't bother you...a 30th Anniversary and an OP24+, even a Celebrity might be worth 275.00?

Location: Pueblo West, CO | Per the 1996 Ovation catalog (pp. 21), this is a CC148-4Z. 4Z - Natural w/inlaid rosette and Solid Top. This was a one-year only option. (30th Anniversary) This model doesn't appear in the 1995 or 1997 catalogs. |
