And I have seen Celebrity's on eBarf that say "Collector's", "Limited Edition" and "Anniversary" on the twelfth fret... This is the first one that I have seen with it written on the Headstock. It still a Celebrity, but it might be a Nice Celebrity. :rolleyes: | ||

(although I've got book-matched flame-maple plywood on my CS257) Apparently the seller don't know what he's got... (I think I will dig that 257 out... It must be getting lonely with the Elites and Pacemaker taking up all my time... :p ) | ||

Joined: November 2006 Posts: 3969 | I had a CP2002. Nice guitar, solid AA spruce top, mid-bowl, lots of bling, very playable. A little weak in the bass compared to deep bowl elites, but still a nice guitar. ![]() ![]() | ||

Somebody here? I called and tried to be the good guy and let him know he might want to research what he had a little more, before he sold it for that, and told him the model # to look up... but left it on his answering machine.... guess I was too late... congrats to the new owner :rolleyes: Glenn | ||

Joined: November 2004 Posts: 1374 | btw... I have done this before, both on e-bay and CL, and will do it again if I see these "deals" and will continue to educate, and inform people about these great guitars, they are our passion here, most of us are reasonably knowledgeable about these fine instruments, to take advantage of someone's ignorance or desperation, or both, in my opinion is wrong. if the seller is informed, and still chooses to sell at that price is one thing..... but if it is a 2001 redwood collectors model, and I believe it is... and a knowledgeable member here bought it at that price.... shame on you.. but again, just my opinion. and sorry about my rant.

Joined: June 2006 Posts: 7307 Location: South of most, North of few | When I bought mine, I had found it on Ebay, and I thought, "man, a real ovation, and cheap too." I had an Applause at the time, and wanted to get an Ovation. I assumed there was only OVATION guitars, not different levels of them as far as where they are made. I should have done my homework, but at the time I really didn't know much about them, and just bought it. I'm sure there are plenty others who have fallen into this "trap". I would think Ovation should make the offshore items with a different designation, like the Applause brand. But, what do I know? Soon they'll all be that way. :rolleyes: | ||
