Location: Greencastle, IN | I have been wanting a nylon string guitar for several years now. I have concluded the only one to have is an "O". I especially like the County Artist. I hate to put a lot of coin into one and find out 3 months later it is not for me. I should quit watching the You Tube videos of Jerry Reid and Chet Atkins! I have a black 84 Custom Legend I will sell if I find I like the nylon string. So what could I get out of the custom legend ballpark? It is the deep bowl with stereo. It has one surface crack and is in the OHSC. I don't want to sell the custom legend until I settle on a nylon. Thanks for any input you can send my way. |

Location: Phoenix AZ | Ovation nylon string guitars are a good compromise if you have to play plugged in. But no way in hell would I sell a Custom Legend to buy one. |

Location: Bay Area, CA | Here is my mid-70's 1624-4. She's in very good condition, a few very minor finish cracks and ding in back of neck. Electronics work well. She sounds great both acoustic and amplified. The top has aged beautifully and sounds to my ear much richer than those made since the 90's (had one, kept this one). The case protects her well, very good shape inside, hardware works fine, but poor condition outside. I'm thinking $465 shipped CONUS? More photos at
