Location: South of most, North of few | This was sold to me as a CP2001, which is marked on the label inside. That being said, I have never seen another 2001 in BCB, and Ovation says they were all made in CCB color. It has the OP24+ preamp, a limited edition inlay, gold tuners with pearl buttons and abalone border on the body and neck. This is really a pretty guitar and plays very well, with the only drawback (if it is at all) is that it is non usa and a shallow body. The reason I am asking is that the label that says it is a CP2001, looks like a sticker placed on the label in the model number place. Anyone???

Location: Munich, Germany | Looks like the Celebrity Ltds., that were offered in 2001 on the german Ovation homepage, available in red and blue/black with epaulettes or round soundhole.
I posted a picture in my gallery (pics for posts), cause I don't know to upload a picture directly to the thread.
On these pics the Ltd.-inlay is missing. So, not sure if it is exactly your guitar. |

Location: South of most, North of few | Thanks, Kurt, the pictures you have in your gallery have a different wood than my guitar. Thats what is puzzling me. This looks kind of like African Bubinga or something with the lateral grain. |

Location: Minden, Nebraska | Looks like a flamed maple laminate. It sure isn't a top I saw on the MIK Ltds. that year, though one-offs and custom pieces were likely produced. |

Location: South of most, North of few | Yeah, I see. I think if it were for GC it would have a "GC" in the model #, I'm not sure about Sam Ash. The thing that bothered me the most is the label. It is a regular Celeb. label with a small sticker over it in the model # line that says CP2001 so its not part of the original label. I know that being an import, it really doesn't have any collectable worth, other than the fact that it's so PURDY!! :D |
