Location: Flahdaw | A guy here has a mid 80's Legend 1867 for sale. It sure is purdy, but is it known as one of the nicer old Ovations? Anyone know? |

| As with all super-shallow bowls, they're great plugged in, but a bit thin acoustically compared to deep bowls. I had an 1869, which is the blingy version of the 1867 (carved bridge, ab binding) and it was a sweet guitar. But not the tense - I no longer have it. |

Location: Flahdaw | Actually, this is not a shallow bowl. This is an old 1867, big bowl from long ago...I want to say 1983? |

| Bob, all 1867's regardless of age, are shallow bowls. The second digit in the model number indicates the bowl depth . The deep bowl Legends would be 11xx (no pre-amp) 16xx OR 17xx. |

Location: Flahdaw | If you look at the picture of the pre-amp, it sure looks like a deeper bowl. Must be an optical illusion. |

Look at the photo of the soundhole and label, looks like the supershallow to me. |
