Location: On the Coast - Halfway between SF & OR | Can anyone give me some information on this failed prototype ovation model?
I believe there were only 4 made in 1968,1 with the standard black shiny bowl, and 1 each red, green, and blue bowl color.
Does anyone have any pictures?
I have the black bowl and I've been told someone in Beal's family has the green bowl; does anyone know where the other 2 are today?
Thanks for any help. |

Location: Atlanta,Ga. | I owned the black for many years and sold it.Never really played it.The red bowl is owned by a lady(folk singer) in Ct. She was a friend of the Kaman family.It had a newer bridge and was offered for sale for a while.I turned it down since i had one and did not want to spend $1800 at the time.She sent me a CD and a card that may still be around here some where. |

I'd be interested in contacting the lady folk singer. If you ever come across her card, let me know.
The story I got was that you got the black one as part of a "train car load of stuff" when the factory was doing a clear-out.
Any truth to that? |

Don't know who has the red one, she was from Ct but we didn't know her. |

Fletcher,i think the black one came from an Ovation employee that i bought 7 guitars from..The other truck load of guitars was some other cool Ovations that included the Jerry Reed Thunderhead,several PF-22's and some great adamas'... |
