 | Serial number starts with an E and three digits on a white square label.  It also says Deluxe on the face of the headstock.  Has a textured bowl.  I'm wondering if it is from the 1971-72 timeframe?  Thank you for any help. |

 | If it says Deluxe, probably 69-70.  Pictures? |

 | Very cool guitar.  The only time a Legend appeared in that configuration was in the  1970 catalog.  You can look it up at the Ovationtribute.com. |

 | Technically, a Deluxe Balladeer, model # 1117.  Here's a link to the catalog from 1970.  http://ovationtribute.com/Catalogues/60s%20Catalog/60s%20catalog.ht...
