This is my first Ovation and I have no idea what it is worth. It is a referb. It was listed for $599 and the seller accepted $400. I have not received it yet and can't find much information on the web about it and I am wondering, does it have frett dots on the side of the neck since there are none on the face? Thanks Guys and Gals.

Hey Brad, you didn't kill them, but you didn't get burned either. I had a CP2001, and it was a very nice player. Mine was a black cherry burst. It's an import, but a very nice guitar. I think it's a shallow body with the op24 preamp if I remember correctly. I sold mine on the bay for something like 450.00. BTW, Welcome!

From Brad to another.... welcome.
It looks like a good enough deal from here.
As long a your happy, that's the only important opinion.
Is this your first guitar??

It's my first acoustic. In my younger days I played electric.

Brad, this plays much like an electric. Very fast neck. Save your money if you're going to hang around here. A couple of attacks of GAS, and you'll end up like the rest of us.....guitar rich, money poor. :rolleyes:

I really don't remember. So many guitars....the room is starting to spin......I've got to go lay down now.

Really, I would think it does. Has abalone surround on the body and neck though. Very "blingy"

I saw one in a music store a couple years ago that they were asking $1000 for. Doesn't mean it was worth $1000, but thought it might make you feel better.
