Ovation did try to go back and make their "great" guitars from the past and had a marketing rollout and all that - about four years ago or so. Called it the traditional series. It failed miserably, probably because no one bought them. Pretty much the same thing happened with the 40th anniversary models.
I was referring to the actual "Traditional Series" guitars that they brought out in 2005. There is a link to the brochure here on Jerome's site: 2005 Traditional Series Catalog . The point I did not make very well was that Ovation did indeed try to make the guitars people here seem to be pining over ...
In 2003 I went looking for deep no cut Ovation.
Even called the factory. None were being made.
Ended up buying a new Martin & used Guild.

I did not know the Traditional series were there untill the 2007 factory tour.
Never saw an ad for one or saw one in a store.
I did buy a 1719 CL.

Tried to buy what amounted to a 1758 Elite
a few months later.
I was greated with a $3000+ price tag on a custom order.

There was someone else who wanted A 1717
here had a similar expirence.

Right now I'm looking for 1711 to expirement with alt tuning on. I'd buy new but they don't make them anymore. Thats what I was looking for when I found 1777-usa
