Location: Parrish, FL | It's time to let it go. I've gravitated to the UTE and don't see myself going back. Sorry JeffW, I'm over here with Schroeder.
Here's what I have. It is #28 of only 50 made. Not a mark on her, Ovation HSC w/ key and most if not all case candy. Many OFC'ers think this is the best wood topped Ovation model ever made. I'm asking $1400 delivered in the continuous 48 states.
And the obligatory sky shot:
These images are of #8 which I also owned at one time but now resides in France. I'm am not able to post pictures of #28 right now because I've relocated to Florida and my family (and camera) are still in TN.
Currently I have limited internet access but will be able to answer questions and inquires most evenings. Drop me a line and I'll get back to you ASAP.

Good time to snatch up a classic! |

If you're the new owner, then congrats on obtaining one of the sweetest 'O's EVER made! |

I had to do it...
1. Ebony fretboard
2. 12 fretter
3. Same binding as the 03C
4. Straight out signal path
5. Slot head
6. Wider neck
And my second single hole, I never ever saw that coming!
Also sounds like it would be a good option as a nylon strung... |

Location: Boise, Idaho | I have a nice Folklore that I obtained cheap from a guy who was told by a "luthier" that it was for nylon strings. It looked like the owner had tried to get the strings to stay tied to the bridge and eventually gave up. It 3 of the wound strings loosely tied on when I got it. Fortunately, he didn't try filing bigger grooves in the nut to fit the nylons.
So, dweezil, forget what I just said. Try putting nylons on the FD14. Then give up in frustration and sell it to me cheap. Personally, I've always preferred the Ovation sound of the Folklores over the Martin sound of the FD14s. |

Location: Parrish, FL | Shipping out to the UK tomorrow morning. Dweez, you'll love this one! I'm sorry to see this one go but I need to cut back a bit to take care of a few loose ends. (like relocation expenses)
The FUD is (was) the most marketable guitar I own(ed) so unfortunately it was the one selected to go.
Fortunately, there are other great guitars out there and there WILL be another day.

I'm hoping that it'll be good enough to let me sell the 1537.
At least the 2010 calendar will have some FUD action now ;) |

It has a good sound in acoustic.
And it is a killer when you plug it !
Here is a topic where you\'ll find some samples. |

UTE == 1680
Parlor 97 snap! (is yours also wide nut one?)

We've got the same tastes !
But my Parlor is a narrow neck...
Concerning the 1680, I prefer its look better than the Ute !
I find that the Dave's shit epaulets are nice !
