I came across this 12-string Custom Legend on Ebay:

https://www.ebay.ca/itm/372233958367

and I am trying to figure out the vintage. Serial number starts with 59..., electroinics looks a bit dated, and it is a 6759 without the LX TRC, so I guess it's about 13 years old from pre-LX generation. So the asking price is pretty high, but I have bought from and this dealer before and it may be possible to negotiate down to about half price for a NOS or used guitar. Here a few pics:

Wow, wonderful guitar. The frets look good. But the price asked is higher than the price for the new guitar was in 2005 (in Germany!!where Ovations are badly expensive).

I saw that listing also,very pretty guitar!!!
Based on serial number I agree 2005 model but not a factory standard 6759,the 6759 is supposed to be mid depth cutaway(mine is) that is obviously a dread so it might be a custom order 6759 or he may have the model number wrong,I sent an email yesterday asking for a picture of the label and more details on the guitar but haven't heard back.
Price wise its kinda steep to me but if he will negotiate down it could be worth grabbing

Yes the lack of cutaway is notable. Anyway they had a Taktik SBG floor model on eBay last year listed for 2200 and when I called and asked for real price I could have had it for 900. Ask for Dylan.

I am not up to speed on the model numbers etc, but that is stunning. I think only Ovation can make a good-looking 12-string headstock, slotted or otherwise. Made me get out my Pacemaker and run through 'Wish You Were Here'.
