Very nice Paul, I love the natural tops, especially that three board DB. |

Location: SoCal | Selling the DB is very hard. But I've got the Glen Campbell DB which is what I've always wanted. Now it's time to send the DB somewhere where it will be appreciated. |

Location: south east Michigan | If the '72 Balladeer is anything like my '71, someone will be getting an awesome guitar. When I wanted another guitar it was very difficult to find something to top it. |

Location: SoCal | I want what I have in them. The Balladeer is only $300 plus shipping and that includes a case.
The Deluxe Balladeer is $800. That includes the $400 I spent for it and the $400 I have in it in repairs.
Both the guitars are in spectacular shape. You will not find a 3 piece top in better condition than on my DB. |

Location: Phoenix AZ | Endorsement: I've played both of these guitars at Moody's house and they are outstanding. The DB is perhaps the nicest one I have ever seen. His asking price for these is almost an insult to how good they are. Dave |

Location: SoCal | Lem, I'm selling it because I've got the GCDB and the DB doesn't get played that much. My wife has told me that if I don't get what the DB is worth, that I should hold onto it. It's that good. |

Location: Germany | I own a 1974 Balladeer myself and it is the most beautiful Ovation I have ever played!
Not the best lookin (no custom inlays, no binding etc) but the best sounding! It sounds just like angels singin!
If our babies sound similar, the buyer will have a great great great guitar!
How much is a 74 Balladeer worth? Mine is like yours in nearly unused condition! |

Man i just hate that you have such a great 6 string O and I can't even come up with money for it!! Oh well this too shall pass.. since cliff loaned me his Ultra 12 I just seem to wish i had a 6 string to play. If it's any consolation, I'm sure that it will find a good home. heck for approximately $340.00 shipped someone better grab it. It's not often you find one in great shape so it's worth every dime. Good luck with the sale Moody. |
