Location: Greenport NY | I think I finally found out the model of this Ovation I have, the ser# is 012518. I bought it around 1980 or so. I am thinking of selling does anyone have a value? It is a beautiful sunburst finish |

Location: Jet City | Steve, no worries, I traded it away for a lil ol' acoustic guitar called a "Book" or something like that.
:D
AJ, you got enough of these.... Just say no man!
Not that anything I say will keep people away from this, but you know, an old 80's Carvin DC100 is a much better made guitar, and almost the same sort of specs down to the schaller bridge even, but with the M22 pups instead of those dimarzios.
And available for under $500 on occasion.
Oh wait, this is the Ovation forum. Sorry. Please disregard the last statement. |

Location: Jet City | I had a DC400T that's now in the hands of the same person who has the GP.
I liked it a whole bunch. In a way, I wish I still had it actually. I was just reminiscing with it's new owner over coffee this week (Mr. Ovation). Very versatile tone wise, but it's the play and feel of it I like best. Neck through, and very "fast" feeling. They setup very nicely. In my opinion, one of the best values on an American made solidbody.
All that said, I really liked the blended heel of the GP too, but it's hard to swallow paying that kinda $ for as Steve said, a "Korean Les Paul copy". |
