Location: SoCal | It probably is a 1 7/8" neck. It's a Country Artist neck, with an Adamas black walnut fingerboard.
Like the Adamas Country Artist built for Glen Campbell (I'm going to be seeing that guitar tomorrow afternoon), it's built for performing plugged in. I doubt that the acoustic sound is anything to write home about. |

Location: Boise, Idaho | I agree with Paul. I didn't notice the flat fretboard the first time, so it isn't a Folklore, which had the radiused fretboard. It has the gold tuners, like on the Classic, though, instead of the chrome ones they put on the CAs and Folklores. |

wd Where and how bad is the crack? And the electronics are missing, huh? It's a shame someone tried to put steel strings on it. |

Location: Jonesboro, AR | Thank you all for all the interest in this guitar. Yes, I did buy it. I am thinking about sending it back to Ovation for an estimate on repaires. I have emailed Kim Keller and he thinks it can be repaired. I just hope I dont put to much money into it. He said that the electronics are $300 and would not say what the other repairs would be until he sees it.
thanks

Location: Boise, Idaho | Congrats. You have an extra special guitar. Many of us think that $1000 for a "regular" 1537 is a bargain, so that might help you judge what a one of a kind 1537 would be worth. If you decide not to spend the money, offer it up as is on this board. I am sure you will get some takers. Keep us posted. |
