Location: SoCal		Saw this guitar on ebay this morning.

I think the tag on it is wrong and it should read model 1677. In the early 80's, for a year or two, Ovation made a shallow bowl (now called mid depth) cutaway Legend. AAA spruce, stacked volume/tone control, etc. Beautiful guitar and fairly rare. About 84 or 85 they then offered the Glen Campbell model in a cutaway and this guitar disappeared. If I win the lottery on Wednesday, I'm buying this guitar.

I'll also buy the matched 1970 GC 6 and 12 strings that are being sold together on ebay found here

Location: Phoenix AZ		Model 1567 does show up in the Ovation pricelist in 1984, so maybe this is correct for the Legend. As far as the matched GC's, based on the foil label, I have some doubt they are really 1970. Didn't they start using the foil label around 1974? Dave

Location: SoCal		In 1972 I bought an Artist with the foil label.

In your 1984 price list, what does it say about the 1567 Legend? I have always been under the impression the 15xx was the Ultra designation.

Location: 6 String Ranch		This has a blue lable so it is from the Randy Hess period, early 80's. Nice looking guitar. I think it's a 1677. 15XX would have been an elite of some sort I think.

Location: Florence OR		i looked up that number (1567) on one of the tables.. either the one here or on ovations site..
its listed there as being a 12 string, which this is not..
i understand it does not come with a case.. wouldnt that be hard on it, humidity & moisture -wise?
