Location: Vermont | I bought an Elite 1758 many years ago (maybe 10) with a hard shell case for about $250.00. It is in wonderful condition and sounds like a symphony plugged into my chorus pedal and my small peavey sound system. :cool: People and other muscians marvel at the sound it produces and how beautiful it is. I just love it and want to insure it for the right amount (just in case). Can anyone tell me the how to find the date it was made and what it might be worth? All I can locate for numbers are the on tag stating 1758 and my local shops are unsure about a value .
Thanks to any and all! |

Location: Blue Ridge Mountains | Look inside the bowl behind the neck and you'll see a small rectangular sticker wit Ovation and some numbers: your serial number for the guitar: now go to reference on the left side of this page and look up your guitars serial numberand you can see the year made.
BTW, what color: I've got two: a -1 sunburst and a -6 white pearl...

Location: East Tennessee | Just below the Ovation label and towards the neck should be another tag with the Serial number on it. That is where it is on my 1758.
Then go to the reference section of this forum.
you should be able to find the year there. Mine is a 1989. |

Location: Vermont | Hey Guys. Thanks for the info. S.N. is 457112. It is a 1992. It has the sunburst finish and still looks new. It is the most incredible acoustic guitar I have ever played. :)
The list when new was $1575.00. I guess I got the bargain of the century. :D
Has it not appreciated in value since being discontinued?
Anyway, thanks MusicMike and MikeW and have a great weekend. I have an old Jasmine that needs a little TLC and some playing. (It kind of gets left out since the ovation came along.)
Must be fate or Karma because I'm a Mike too.
Later,
Mike |
