Joined: February 2012 Posts: 4 | Hello all, i have been in and out of this web site for a few years now and finally registered. I have a black Preacher Deluxe that i aquired in 1986. I traded a Fender Mustang for it and have had it ever since. The serial number is E 12740 and ibelieve it to be a 1977. I do like the guitar but i want a 6 string acoustic with electronics so i am considering a trade and or sell the guitar. I have the original case and she plays well and everything works on it, no issues other than normal wear and tear. Could anyone date this guitar and give me a ballpark on value. I will send or post pictures if anyone wants to see it. Thankyou in advance for any information i can get on this guitar. | ||

I don't follow the pricing close enough to give a definitive answer, but I will say that in a trade situation you should be able to score are pretty nice USA acoustic with modern electronics. Maybe some folks here would be interested so watch your PMs. You can always put it up on eBay for what YOU think it's worth and see what happens. With all higher-end Ovations, it's always "right buyer - right time". | ||

I'm not an electric guy, so I can't help much with a price, but posting pictures will definitely help when one of the electric OFC'ers logs in and takes a look. It might also be helpful if you give some ideas about what you would like in an acoustic model. If you don't have specific models in mind, describe what you are looking for and how you intend to use it....at home, gigging out, church, solo, band, etc. | ||

I suspect you already knew that, however I don't know of any way to narrow it down further. Your estimate of 1977 may very well be correct. As far as value, I'll defer to someone more experienced in Ovation electrics. You can always do a search of completed listings on eBay to give you an idea of what they're selling for there. It might help others estimate the value if you post pictures. We love pictures. Edited by Nick B. 2012-02-12 1:08 PM | ||
