Location: San Diego | I am the original owner of an Artist model 1621-1. I think I bought it in '77 or '78, just not sure which. With the exception of a scuff or two on the back and a dent on the back of the neck at the nut, which is surface and does not damage intergrity, the guitar is just beautiful.
All original and sounds like a dreadnaught. I've played this guitar with love and boogie for 30 years. Still have the original Ovation brown hardshell case though Lufthansa put a pretty memorable crack in it at the base - it still works fine, just a little ugly. Its also covered in airline baggage tags from all the world of my travels with it.
Anybody have a clue what it might be worth if I decided to sell it? |

Location: Keepin' It Weird in Portland, OR | Many of us, O'Cultists, try not to deal in the monetary material world. We try not to think in terms of dollars, but in the enjoyment we get from playing and sharing these fine instruments.
And the pure aesthetics of a parabolic bowl, as opposed to the sharp edges of a wood box.
The joy of creating, and partaking of the creation.
Having said all that... About two-hundred and fifty bucks! [$150-$500]
Depending on the market, eBay or shop or personal sale...
And the phase of the moon!
Gee, I hope that was helpful :p |

Location: Boise, Idaho | I picked one up for a friend about a year ago for a little over $200 with case off ebay. We thought that was a really good deal. It had a couple finish cracks next to the neck. I'd figure a bit more than that. |
