My work server has blocked photo-bucket among other places so I can't see the pics - but I still have an opinion!!!

If it has the original ribbon type of sound hole it is worth the most. Then, as you move closer to the "standardized features" like the inlaid ring, different bridges, tuner changes, etc. you will lose some resale or "unique" value to the market.

For example, my 1112-1 - they are plentiful and will go for about $300 on Ebay on a good day. Very little motivation to sell.

Since the instrument has one of the early numbers and is in excellant condition it should be worth twice the standard. But like it says in the openg page - Ovations get little respect.

If it has the original Ovation case it's worth about $300 - $350 on eBay.

Nice guitar. Don't sell.
