| Heeyyyy. My names Dave and I play Ovations (Hi Dave!)
Anyhow, I have two guitars. One is a cheapo Ovation Celebrity. The other one I paid a bit for a few years ago. It is a Bright Orange, Ovation Custom Balladeer 1860 (per the sticker inside the guitar). I remember when I bought this I had a hard time looking it up - I think it is fairly old. Anyone have any info on this.. links? sales prices etc. I'm looking to get a new guitar. Lemmme know! Your help is truly appreciated.
Regards,
Dave |

Location: New South Wales, Australia | G'day Dave and welcome from downunder. I have a black 1860 which I purchased new in '94. You can see pics of it my gallery if you're interested as I still can't manage to post pics here.
About six months ago a local music shop offered me $400 (about $320 US I think) as a trade in but I decided to keep it.
I believe the 1860 was discontinued and the 1862 took its place.
I love the guitar but the shallow bowl means it really has to be plugged in if you want to make any noise. I think there are a couple of other OFC members who own 1860s.
PM me if you want any more details. My knowledge is limited but I'll help if I can. |
