 One PAIR of shiny bowls: a K-1111 Re-issue and a re-furbished 1968 12-string! An INCREDIBLE set!

Not that I really want to sell them, but an opportunity has shown up that requires a little give on my part. Put simply, something has to go, whether I like it or not. What I have is one of the coolest sets of shiny bowl Ovations you will ever see; a K-1111 40th Re-Issue Balladeer matched to a re-furbished 1968 slot-head 12-string. Both sport the shiny bowl which is SOOOOO much cooler in person than in pictures! The slot-head 12'er also has the direct out pre-amp that they used on the FD-14's. I'm told that the 1115 was totaled at some point, so the factory put the original neck on a new body built to the original '68 specs. As far as I'm concerned, it is the 12-string equivalent of the 40th Anniversary series. And it just fits right next to the Balladeer. They both have effortless action, killer looks, and drop-dead sound! They both come with hardshell cases. Other than a minor nick here or there, they look nearly perfect! I'm asking $2500 FOR THE SET, including shipping both guitars (continental U.S.), or if you live near enough, I will consider driving to meet you instead of trusting these to the tender ministries of the USPS. If you are overseas, I can consider it of course, but there is no inexpensive way to ship two guitars. It would be best to ask for a shipping quote first. I might consider partial trades, but it would have to involve something pretty nifty, and I do need to raise a bit of cash. Feel free to ask any questions. You will absolutely LOVE these guitars when you see them!            | ||

Just a friendly reminder/clarification: I am willing to spread payments out for these (within reason of course). I am also willing to consider trades plus cash. Let's do something creative eh?

Joined: May 2006 Posts: 4226 Location: Steeler Nation, Hudson Valley Contingent | Okay.....I just got an email from John Budny today that I was not expecting for about 8 more weeks. Suffice to say I am somewhat more motivated to move these than before. Let's make a deal eh? | ||

MWoody - 2013-11-13 1:13 PM Tough crowd I tell ya! Somebody needs to get what they want for Christmas! Since they come in a set it counts as "one in"... Yeah. I'm sure SWMBO would agree! | |||

(How much depends on how far they have to travel. I am paying double the usual shipping after all. ) I am also now willing to sell these separately, though it seems a shame to break them up. | ||
