Not sure I have ever seen one of these on the secondary market

I wonder how many were produced...

Sure is pretty. It was just now re-listed. 1500 bucks opening bid (and no bids the first time). I have no reference point from which to speak, so I ask you all....is that a reasonable opening?

Location: Tennessee		That's a fair price for a rare, unmolested 1537. It's a beautiful guitar, especially if you're into black.

That one appears to have a crack of some sort on the lower bout.

It certainly is not advertised as "mint"

Location: Muenster/Germany		One fingerprint on a black beauty like this and you will have to clean it, and never play outside in the sun for longer than 5 minutes, but besides all this it´s a very fancy ( and obviously rare) Ovation and a killer look when you play in a small club...

Location: SoCal		I personally think a 1537 is easily worth $1500. The market may not agree with me (trolls get no respect)......

Location: Latitude 39.56819, Longitude -105.080066		Well Paul, there is definitively a difference in what we perceive to be a guitars worth and what it will actually sell for. I agree that a black 1537 is worth $1500 but I do not think that the buying market will agree. I think that a realistic selling price is closer to $1000. Just my opinion but Ovations usually never sell for what they should command price wise in the marketplace.
