Location: houston, texas | Saw one of these today in a pawn shop. Not being much of a classical fan, I passed but was wondering if you guys knew the value. There were a couple of finish cracks on the top, one about 2" long, one about a half inch. Looked like a couple of dings on the bowl as well. Guy wanted $175 with case. Good/bad deal? |

Location: Upper Left USA | IMHO - Any USA made Ovation that is playable and/or repairable under $200 should be grabbed up and given a home. Cases are worth $50-$100 anymore!
Not to keep talking about me (but I will if I have to) I grabbed the 1624 I have for sale on Ebay from a Pawnshop for just over $200 including shipping. I cleaned it up, played it for a while and it is still a good deal for someone. Nice Flavor!
Grab it! |

Location: Upper Left USA | I have played my early Country Artist through a Digitech RP 80 and a 25 Watt practice amp and gotten a lot of different sounds. That was just goofing around. If you know what you are doing it can be a tone that a steel strung can't get near. |
