This Elite cutaway seems to be a 1547-4!!
It look very nice and is not so easy to find!!
Does it sound as good as the 1537???

Location: Paris/France | You're right Stephen,
The 1547 is the cutaway version of the 1537.
And the 1538 is the 12 strings version.
They are listed in this US price list from 1984:

I really hope one day to have one.
You've broke my heart when I saw that you decided to sell this great guitar!!
Actually, I've got another project and if everything goes well, (I cross my fingers...) I will be the next owner of another amazing Ovation in 2 weeks!!
I can't tell you which model today because I'm a little bit superstitious... (Only 4 persons knows this project).
That's why I can't buy your 1537 and you can't imagine how i'm sad because your price is really low for such a fabulous guitar!!
"Choisir, c'est se priver..."
It's the french philosophical thought of the day... :D

Location: Boise, Idaho | OK, T28. While I'm begging my wife to let me buy your 1537, you bid on this one. I hope your wife nags you for years if you get this. Not that she wouldn't anyway. |

Location: Latitude 39.56819, Longitude -105.080066 | I honestly have no desire for the 1547 because I am lucky enough to own an '87 collectors (a cutaway) which many consider to be a super 1537.
I just like to make sure some of these excellent guitars get bid on quickly to arouse the passion in those (like Jeff) who should own one. Besides, if his reserve was less than my max bid the guitar wouldn't still be "reserve not met" :rolleyes:
Mark, it should not be difficult to pull up past info on the OFC board and show the wife how this guitar usually sells for over 1000 and everyone who owns one feels they are easily worth as much as a $2000 guitar.
I believe Jeff W has declared his 1537 to sound better than the U681T....and you know what rave reveiws that guitar has gotten (for over $1700 I might add). Should be an easy sell to the wife! ;) |

Location: Boise, Idaho | A few OFC bidders. Stephen, you sound like you expect my wife to be logical. She still thinks that one guitar is enough. We took a logic class together in college and I had to help her out. Don't know if she would have made it without me. At least that's what I tell everybody.
I thought when someone turned around in church yesterday and told me I had an excellent voice, my wife would soften up about the 1537. Maybe it's because I bought 3 Ovations and an amp since she tried to buy me a 1537 for my birthday. I just need Christmas to come early. |

Location: Parrish, FL | I'm trolling for my first Ovation and this could be it. So far I have the lead, but several more days to go. I made a pretty good commitment for this one so.....
(One of Stephens offerings would be a great alternative should the interest be great though.)

but rest assured, this one will go for over a $1000 or more...... |

Location: Latitude 39.56819, Longitude -105.080066 | Well, based on the pics I received, $660 is probably still a very good deal for this guitar....very rare and according to CWK2 "a great guitar". I would think that if whoever got it was smart, they would send it back to the mothership and have it restored to "like new" condition. Even if it cost $500, you would still have a rare, great guitar for under $1200. |

Yep, I agree. The retoration is just out of my budget right now. For $1100-$1200 there is the '05 that would be sweet!
