I was reading posts by a Bob Firth, who I would love to have chime in and answer a question I have regarding my first Ovation purchase. Other responses are welcome, of course!

I picked up an Ovation Country Artist with a foil label marked "1124-4". I also noticed a neck block stamp of "7696". I understand that neck black stamping ended in the early 1970's and I also believe the 1124-4 came out in 1971.

I am trying to understand what year this guitar was made. As I understand it, the foil label did not come out until 1972 or maybe a bit later. Probably added by the factory at some point in time. Maybe the guitar came with this foil label originally if it was bought in mid January of 1972.

What is interesting is that the guitar came with the owners booklet and in the back, it has recorded:

Model # 2124-4 Serial # 7696
Date Purchased: 1/17/72
Dealer: Bob McGinnis
Price $4.20.40 (obviously meant to write $420.40)

I am guessing that it had to be a very early model CA with the foil label having been added later, do you think I have this straight?

Happy to find all of you here!

Ron

The model number in the booklet should have read 1124-4, not 2124-4, my apology.
