| Looks nice , seller claims it's mint and rarely used. Very nice price, too. COA says it's #1682 (of 1776 made). These are essentially deep bowl Legends with the Bicentennial stencil. I've seen lately these with asking prices of anywhere from $700 to $1200 depending on condition. |

| $800 is quite reasonable, considering that it's only about $250 by the value of the 1976 dollar. They certainly cost more than that then, and this is one of those guitars that increase in value. |

Location: SoCal | IMHO, as to value, also depends on whether it is an a/e or acoustic. I have one of each. Approximately 10% of the run were a/e.  |

Location: Seoul, Korea | Tony: I am assuming a/e is more valuable?! BTW, does it matter whather the guitar comes with the paper or not? I recently purchased a Patriot from Guitar Center w/o the paper and the book. Can Ovation provide the paper and the book retroactively? |

Location: SoCal | Papers? not to me, just thought this was a nice layout of the acoustic version I bought.
As to a/e - less means rarer(10%) and some would prefer it. I will keep the a/e more because of the help and TLC at the factory.
Wonderful guitars, as a collectible, will probably be worth more in another 68 years (tricentennial, maybe sooner) ;) |

Not that it's going anywhere. This one's for my kids! ('Course, I don't know if either one will play guitar yet. :p :rolleyes: ) |
