Location: Phoenix AZ		For Sale: FD14 FOLKLORE DELUXE (upgraded)

In my opinion the best sounding wood top guitar Ovation has ever produced. It has a woody mellowness like none other. Pristine condition, including hardshell case, blah, blah, blah ...

The beauty of this guitar is the 12 fret neck with 1-3/4 nutwidth. Plays like butter and has a voice like no other Ovation. Wonderful acoustically or plugged in. I'm a little full up on 12 fretters at the moment which is the only reason I am selling it. I will miss it for sure, but it's not getting played (did I mention that it has no signs of wear?) and would be better served elsewhere.



In 2003 I was the one on this forum who first discovered this rare specimen and the general reaction was WTF? It's a plain jane. No neon colors, no cutaways, no inlays, no gay epaulets, no complicated electronics. Just pure sweet tone. As far as I know, nobody that has heard one or bought one has been disappointed.

Of course I had the neck GLOSS finished, just like I do on every guitar. And while at it, I had a Josh White signature logo applied to pay homage to the original. Also swapped out the tuner buttons for pearloid. Show up to a gathering of players using wooden guitars and the FD14 will change their opinion of Ovation right quick.



Guitar is on mint/new/pristine condition. Only left my house a few times and it lives in a humidity controlled environment. There are some lines and blotches in the cedar that you can see in the photo, but that's just mother nature.

Location: Florida Central Gulf Coast		Day-um Dave... what a beaut!

There were two Ovations that I HAD to have after SSJ II, a 1680 and the FUD. Brad (BluesSailor) had brought one there and I was immediately impressed with the austere, yet classic look, and it's construction, Then... I got to play it... whoa... finger picker's (in my case, thumb strummin') delight!

Mine is my 'right next to me'/'go to' guitar. If you were the one responsible in bringing the FUD to the OFC forefront, hats off to ya!

Location: Seoul, Korea		Dave, I did not realize you were the origin of GAS at OFC! I was the last person to purchase an FD-14 from Kotadawg from this Forum and this is the only one I kept while selling off many great sounding Ovations. Don't miss this opportunity for a very unique guitar!

Location: Germany, where delicious wine is growing (Rheinh)		Well Folks,
thanks a lot, but plaese hold back your congratulations till the giutar has arrived by me in Germany.I'll keep you posted.
Dave, plaese tune down the strings for the journey, I won't be glad to send it back to the mothership immediately for a repair.
And well... it was expensive (€ vs. $ is very bad for me @this time) but Dave's FD-14 was my "Dream-FD-14" since I've found it on his page. I love gloss and wide necks and also the headstock, Dave has upgrated it. I can't resist.
