Location: Gig Harbor, Washington | Yes...the GFC (Global Financial Crisis) has kicked me in the shorts and ate my lunch! So, I'm letting go of another "Keeper" that I'd really hoped to grow old with ('cause I'll be Fifty in a couple months!)...
This one is perhaps the nicest specimen from the olden days I've ever seen - hand laid bowl from the Silver Foil Label era - though I've upgraded with 24k Gold plated Shallers and a much sought after "Glen Campbell" TRC!
The electronics are a newer, New Old Stock FET and the set-up, action & intonation are absolutely perfect (IMHO). It doesn't have any of the typical road rash, dork marks and has only one very minor finish crack near the end pin (about 2"). The only other imperfection is the case handle plastic has cracked away on one side (see pic), though all the latches and hinges are in great condition. Did I mention there's virtually no fret wear, in spite of the many hours I've loved on this one.
Here's the visuals:
As is typical - the rubber treble bout anti-slip gizmo has begun to peel away, but I'll throw in a replacement along with a (COPY) of the early Ovation brochure and the Custom Legend version as well. Almost forgot - I also have the key to the lock for it as well...
I'm asking $550 plus actual U.S shipping and have no doubt that the lucky dog who snags this one will be campin' happy!
Check out the Tornado I'm offering as well - It was a "Keeper" until the GFC also! Thanks for your "GAS" indications - Hope to keep this in the OFC family also... |

Location: Gig Harbor, Washington | My apology for the sizing issue - I loaded them to the "NING" side of the OFC, and then just copied the image addresses - I'm not sure how else to do it?!?
Anyway - a simple re-size on the page to 75% makes the pic's seem a little easier to appreciate.
Once again - no harm intended! Mahalos~ |
