Plays great, sounds great, and looks great.
What more could anyone ask for.

Location: SoCal | Deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep, non cutaway like the ancients that came before us in 1974...way before I saw the light and switch from a Martini.
OP-Pro w/XLR, double rod, etc...IMHO, the finest balanced guitar Ovation has made (balanced as it crosses over a number of playing styles.) Better than a reissue.
Yep, I am a little biased ;) :rolleyes: ;) |

Location: SoCal | For the classic Custom Legend, I would be surprised if this isn't the last of the breed.
To me, better than any CL that came before. My understanding is that this sat in a music store way up in the dark corner. It has been checked out and is in new condition. Quality of material and craftmanship are of the highest level. True new old stock. |

Location: SoCal | Al is one of the co-sponsors of this board and my personal dealer. In fact, when this first was offered, I stated that I would only buy one if I could buy from AL (1/02/04) - I bought two new and one demo 30th Anniv from him (as well as about $8,000 of others in trade or sales)...I feel that strongly that Al has been a friend and a great dealer.
He's strange but a teddy bear (just ask Temp, Bill, Moody, Cliff, and others). Email him at alpep@aol.com, call him at 856-933-0374 (Lost Art Vintage).
Don't screw around as I have emailed him an offer of a trade. |

I see you are from San Diego. My son, is playing bass in a Jazz Trio, on a Holland America cruise ship right now that ports in San Diego every Saturday.
Tupp, from my digging around last night, I found that 300 of these were made, with 180 going international.

Location: Alberta, Canada | Have come to grips with the fact that, at this time, I can not afford this beautiful instrument. That HURT! :)
Bad timing sure screws up alot of dreams. Oh well, it would have really upset my extensive "O" collection. (see below)
Tony, I hope you were able to broker a deal for yourself. Or if not, then somebody here.
(Sure would've been a perfect mate to my CB)
Cryin' in my beer...Dave |
