I have owned this guitar since 2003, but do not play it and it has just been lying around in its case so I have decided to sell it. This guitar is in Very Good condition. The Ovation Model 1866 12 string guitar was a well-made, classic instrument that many musicians hold in high regard. They are very hard to find as this model has been discontinued. The serial Number is 395529 which I believe dates it to the 1989-1990 build date, although Ovation built this guitar from 1989-2004, and then again from 2006-2007.
The Ovation 1866 12 string features a Lyrachord composite back and sides. The top of the 1866 is grade AA solid spruce with A-type bracing that delivers the warmth and sustain that guitar players love. A hand-laid rosette of oak-leaves adorns the sound hole. The neck of the 1866 is built to withstand the extra tension that 12 strings put on it by encasing a solid mahogany core around alternating layers of laminate and rock maple. The resulting neck is extremely strong and still has a bright tone. Under the hood, the 1866 boasts a OP24 . The scale length is 25 1/4 and the nut width is 1 7/8. This guitar has the gold tuners and ebony inlay on the fret-board . The 1866 has a shallow bowl which makes it much easier to handle and play. Guitar has the original hard shell case with padded insert. These are trending on Ebay at approx $900.00 and the last KBB value was at this price but am open to offers. There is a very very small chip on the corner of the Sound hole rosette, this is the only thing that is stopping listing it as Excelent condition. You can reply direct to mikerushbrook@austin.rr.com if interested. Any shipping costs to be paid by buyer. A new set of Elixir Nanoweb strings,not fitted, will be included in the sale.

This was sold via my local Craig's list posting. So it now has a good new home and will be played.
