And welcome to the site! |

Pictures would be a big help but I'd guess somewhere in the $250 to $350 range.
That serial number looks kind of odd. Does the bowl have a shiney or dull finish??. |

Location: Phoenix AZ | It's the shape of the bridge. In 69-71 a lot of guitars had bridges with slightly extended edges that I dubbed "wings". I'm sure within a few nanoseconds someone will post a photo. No performance difference. Some folks think the winged bridge looks "cool". Dave |

Take a look in Dave-Tupperware's www.ovationgallery.com and in Jerome's www.ovationtribute.com and you will see a whole history or evolution from Kluson to Gotoh and winged to hand tooled. |
