Location: USA		So some of you might think I am nuts because I just acquired this beauty! I have decided to sell her because the neck is just too narrow for my fingers. I would keep her if I had the funds to have multiple acoustics but I am only able to have a couple three and I really need another one that is more suited to my playing ability.

She is in near mint condition. I say "near mint" only because she is obviously not new. I purchased her from the original owner who has multiple guitars and he stuck this in her case and left her there only to pull out every once in a while to play and check on. Everything is perfect. They case looks new as well.

I will be including "The Book" in the sale as I believe it should stay with the guitar. I do recognize that the book in itself has value.

Also included will be the sound hole plugs for playing live (never used) and the hang tags, care booklets and sales receipt.

I did get a good deal on her. I am not 100% sure what she is worth but I do know it is more than what I paid. I do need to get the correct value out of her to make it worth my while. I will set a price of $2600 + Shipping on her.

I would possibly entertain trade offers or other Ovations or non-Ovations.

This is a very rare guitar that I believe only around 100 were produced and she is sought after by the true Ovation enthusiast. This is one to keep and hand down to your kids if you are able to do so.







Thanks for looking! Steve

Location: USA		I did a bunch of research and I believe that I am asking WAY too much. My apologies! The updated price is $1800 + Shipping or a trade offer.

This rare beauty is well worth it!!

Thanks.

Location: When??		As a fish looks at a worm the price may be getting closer to a bite.. but about all I can offer for a trade is some patio furniture and a well used Mr. Coffee brewer.. so it looks like I'm out the loop on this beauty. Isn't that the same guitar and book that everyone was talking about the mystery signature in the book when you bought it?

How narrow is the neck exactly at the nut?

I am pretty sure that it is 1-11/16" like most Ovations.

Location: USA		Yes, it is 1-11/16 which is typical of Ovation. I knew going in that I prefer 1-7/8 like on my Larrivee SD-60 and my Josh White Folklore. I guess I have been playing my Larrivee for so long, it is a big adjustment to go back to the 1-11/16. I am sure if I kept at it I would be fine. She is an awesome guitar! If I can sell or trade her I that would be fine too.

Anyone who has been waiting for a Book Elite to come up for sale would not be disappointed.
