Guys.... tell me...

http://cgi.ebay.com/VINTAGE-OVATION-1867-LEGEND-Guitar-ACOUSTIC-ELE...

What we see is a custom legend. Seller sais it is a Legend and shows the legend interior sticker! I am confused :confused:


I dont want to buy it anyway... but i thought I´d share this one with you.

Gotta be a custom, there. It's a very nice guitar. I've always wanted one but in black.

But what about the sticker in the inside?
Do you think he took pictures from two different guitars?

I don't understand it. I asked him about it though so maybe he'll reply?

Through this message board I'm quickly learning that Ovation is extremely innovative to the point that you can never think you know something cut and dry. LoL, it's a "good thing" though, keeps you on your toes and I like that.

Somebody here MUST have an answer to this, I have no doubt! :D

All the photos appear to be from the same guitar.

It looks like all the frills of an 1869 CL. I think someone at the factory put the wrong label in there. I'll tell you what...if they're selling the guitar in those pics for THAT price, I'd buy it and not think twice!

It's definitely a Custom Legend...look at the "eyebrow" at the bottom of the fretboard. Shame about the broken side on the headstock...that would cause me to lose interest in it.

I have a custom Legend (black)and it look just like that EXCEPT this one in the picture also has the XLR jack (: Mine plays and sounds very nice. The headstock looks like it could be a fairly easy repair, since it is a pretty clean break (not nearly a "chip" as he's stated though). Looks like a great deal for somebody.
