| Hi everyone,
I just bought this 1616-1 for $399. It'll be my first nylon string guitar. hoping to use it for an alternative country project I've got going on.
http://cgi.ebay.com/Ovation-1616-Classical-Acoustic-Electric-Guitar...
I'd love to hear anyone's opinions or comments about this model or what I paid for it.
thank you,
-mike |

Welcome Mike.
Those nylon strung are a nice flavor of ice cream. |

Location: Boise, Idaho | I was watching that one, too, but I really want to try one with a 1 7/8 neck. Love my 1713, but there are probably enough diffences that they wouldn't compare well. Not better or worse, just a different flavor, to quote whoever made that up. |

| Why is the skunk stripe so thin? I didn't know that they used to do that - is it just on the classical or are the older Country Artists like that? |

| Blame the varifocals/advancing years/beer. They probably all apply. |

| thanks for all the replies!
I'll post when I receive it. wonder if it'll look as good in person.
this will be ovation #7
oh, I have 2 pinnacle 3862's made in japan. i'm really impressed with the japanese. they assembled them very nicely. I have a white one that has the sweetest tone to it.
anyhow, thanks again,

Location: Boise, Idaho | For reasons I cannot fathom, that one slipped through with no bidders except you, but 7 people have bid up another O Classic 1613 to $550. Ebay bidding makes no sense to me. |
