Location: SW Mintsoda | Just wanted to give a heads up in case anyone is interested. Saw this in a store yesterday - I have no affiliation with the store or the guitar.
But it's a 12 fret steel string Ovation with a wide fingerboard, slotted headstock.
Top was in almost mint condition.
Tag on the guitar says "70's Ovation". I believe the serial # is 026692 (I took a pic of the serial # but it's very grainy.)
Neck action seems very good. Didn't see any cracks or scratches on the back - frets seem to have very little wear.
I took a couple more pics of the front and the headstock (sorry no pics of the back) - I'll e-mail them to anyone who's interested (contact me at "pm360life at gmail dot com").
Includes case; they're asking $699 - I have no idea if they'll deal.
The store is Rhapsody Music in Mankato, Minnesota: here's a link to their website "Used" page:
http://www.rhapsodymusic.net/used.html
When I strummed this thing, I could not believe how LOUD it was! Sounded excellent, too - with old strings!
Hopefully someone here can give it a good home (I play lefty, or I'd be all over it)!
If someone wants me to check it out more thoroughly, I'll be back in Mankato next Friday.

Was it the price, or, was there an issue with the guitar I didn't catch? Did you try negotiating with them at all?
Just curious - might be helpful information to others here... |

Location: Always beautiful canyon country of Utah | It was neither. I try to limit the number of possessions which I have so another guitar just didn't fit into that picture. However if I ever encounter the right sunburst I might increase my number of possessions by 1!!! |
