Location: Flahdaw		Looks EXACTLY like a Westone guitar I own. There was probably an Asian factory popping these things out for private label purposes back in the day. I would put a very low value on it, especially in it's present condition...maybe $100?

Thanks for the reply,So then this review must be bogus,It is the same guitar and in the price it says $15,000.00 lol Was thinking there must be some gold hidden in it.
check it out. Harmony central The only thing wrong with it other than needing cleaned is most of the screws are rusted and not wanting to come out.and the paint is cracked on the back of the neck.

Location: Tennessee		I have one of these in excellent shape. There's two extra zeros that got added somehow. These are economy-Asian built guitars with Ovation markings. $150 is generous for a real good one in my opinion. But it's kinda fun to play from time to time.

Location: Campbell River, British Columbia		Pretty good find @ $15. Clea it up, string it up, and see what it likes to play.

Jeff Skunk Baxter and Tiesco Del Ray would be happy for you and so am I.

You might try to get a little WD-40 onto the threads and let it soak for a few minutes? Just avoid (or thoroughly clean-up) any excess, since it can leave a film on the guitar finish.
