Similar to '97 collectors edition but without the touch-sensitive preamp & with a 14 fret neck/solid headstock rather than a 12 fret/slothead |

What is it, then if it is not a 1997 Collectors? Is it a custom build?
I've seen several 1997 collectors and managed to play one a couple of months back. Cool guitar, I could even be interested in this one.
TIA for any information

Location: SoCal | Ovation listed these in their 1998 catalog at the Parlor guitar, model number 5741-9. It was a specialty aoustic, on the same page as the folklore, mando, mandocello, and longneck. I've never actually seen one, and they were never listed in any other catalog. |

Location: Scotland | Other than the '97 collector's edition this is the first centre-hole parlour size Ovation I've seen. I have a '99 catalog which has a similar guitar in the Elite style, model no PPG8-X. This had the touch-sensitive pre. There was a Celebrity version of the multi-hole parlour on ebay recently. |

Location: Wooster, Ohio | I have always liked the look of the 1997 collectors. I think on a parlor the sloted head and shorter neck look more natural. Also the ebony tuning buttons are a nice touch. |
