Location: NewZealand | Hi everyone,
I'm new here & would appreciate a little help in determining the value of my Ovation folklore 6774 steel strung guitar.
I bought it back in the late nineties & at that time they were around $1700usd (in the states).....Over here in NewZealand It would cost over $4,000 NZD to replace it with a new one if you could get one but they have been discontinued for a while.
It's in really good condition too,very well looked after & not played a great deal either.
Thanks in advance,
Jaydeer44 |

Suddenly it goes from being "OLD" to being "Vintage" and Desirable.
But you have to find someone who wants it bad enough.
Every time that I have bid on a Folklore, somebody wanted it more than Me! :mad: |
