This one looks like some sort of epoxy was "installed". Other than that, it's a nice looking piece. I noticed it's been up before also. http://cgi.ebay.com/1975-Ovation-Balladeer-Custom-1112-Acoustic-Gui... | ||

The reason I brought this up is one of the earlier ones I bought had a glue residue on it that was all but impossible to remove. That one WAS an afterthought by some enterprising owner, and it looked terible. I guess I'll just shut up now...... | ||

Joined: June 2006 Posts: 7307 Location: South of most, North of few | I had a 74 1114, and now have a 77 1115, and neither one has a pad of any type on it. Anybody know what year they stopped (or started)?? :confused: | ||

By-the-way... I was watching that same guitar last time it was out. Reserve Not Met, and time ran out. I forget how much the last bid was, it didn't have a BIN then. | ||
