Location: Marlton, NJ | I used to have a 2005 ES Collector's model with a contour bowl; sadly I sold it a few years ago but now regret it. I'm now looking for another Made in the USA model with a contour bowl. I'm going to set up a search on eBay but what models should I search for? Does anyone have a list of all USA models with a contour bowl?
Thanks so much!

I did the same as you... had it, sold it... then I bought another one and I still love it. There's been one on sale here on the board for quite awhile now as well. Good luck!

Location: Marlton, NJ | Thanks for the info, guys. I saw the '05 on eBay, but I thought the asking price was a little high considering it has a ding on the top. I'll wait to see if it comes down in price. When I was trying to sell mine, there were some on eBay for around $600 - and no one was buying them! That's why I ended up trading mine because I ended up getting more money in trade. Coincidentally, nosajwp in the For Sale section of the forum was also asking $600 for his, but it seems he's disappeared. So anyway, I've got a price in my head of around $600; though I think the guitar is worth more than that in quality and value, the market seems to think differently.
> "How do you guys come to grips with selling your beloved guitars?"
If I'm not playing a guitar for a long while and there is something else I want, I'll sell the old guitar to fund the new guitar. Obviously if I play a guitar often, I keep it. With the Collector's '05, I wasn't playing it a lot because I kinda went-off the sound of Ovations and wanted to try a Taylor for a while. I've now returned to playing an Ovation, mainly for ergonomic reasons. I've got a very nice USA Made 1869 Custom Legend, but I think a Deep Contour bowl is the best compromise between sound and ergonomics so I'd like to get a guitar with one. I think the '05 sounded better than any other Ovation I've tried (though I'd love to try an Adamas someday). |

Location: Tennessee | I'm a big fan of the contour bowl. I've pretty much given up seriously playing the earlier roundbacks, and sold some of them off. I think the 2007BCS (the one I have anyway) is one of the very best wood tops I've had the pleasure of playing. |
