| ...and what a bargain, since they usually "sell for 2k and over"! :rolleyes:
PT Barnum would be proud - tho not as much as for that Aussie air guitar. |

According to the price history spreadsheet, the earliest were the deep bowl 1132 and shallow bowl 1142 in 1976, and the latest were the 1737 and 1738 (12-string) in 1981. I once owned a 1637 from 1980, my first (and only for a long time) Ovation. Nice guitar for the money. |
