This is actually my second one of these; I had one. Loved it. Sold it. Regretted it. Replaced it. And intended to keep it. However, I’ve tripped across a lovely custom Ovation for sale, and this is the only way I can pay for it (not to mention keep the peace with SWMBO). There’s not a thing wrong with this instrument. It looks brand spanking new! It is absolutely stunning in appearance and sound! Beautiful, flawless Figured African Cherry for the top…mid-depth body…tasteful, understated ebony fret-board with mother-of-pearl inlay on the 12th fret…Gold Ovation tuners…the nut is 1 11/16”…fantastic sounding Ovation Tru-Balance pickup and OP-40 Pre-amp with built-in tuner. It has a very unique sound, even among Ovations; very mellow and warm. Not a bright guitar at all. The 02C’s also have extremely fast-playing and comfortable necks. And I'm one of the few who actually appreciate that the top is a laminate. It's the instrument that I take out in the New York winters when I feel I might benefit from just a little added weather resistance. It comes with it hardshell case, also in great condition with just some scuffing on it. In fact, since this was one of my keepers (Did I just say that? I think Trader Jim’s been putting something in my Sam Adams.  ), it actually has a brass engraved luggage tag I attach to the handle of all my instruments. Since I have a small wall of identical looking cases, the tags make it easy to grab the guitar I’m looking for. I'll ship it insured in the continental US for $875. Overseas? Get with me for a quote. Let me know what you think. Opinions and feedback are always appreciated. (I already know about the yellowjacket in the photos though.)        | ||

It had no image or description at all, just a very strange model number, CE768-wbx, so I asked for a pic. Even though it wasn't a very well set up photo, I opened it...then my mouth went slack...then my brain seized up...I probably had a little twitch in my left temple even. So tell me whats the custom? Please don't tell me it's a long neck SSB Adamas I with ebony fingerboard! I sent Kim Keller an inquiry. He responded, "The -X on the end of the model number means "Custom", so it's something we built for someone somewhere. So thusly, it's a Custom deep bowl Custom Elite." I've gotten more photos since and the label and certificate identify it as a custom guitar for George's Music, Guitar Gallery. I'll send an inquiry to them soon asking for the story. I do like bubinga though, and I'll get another chance at an 02C down the road I'm sure. Some of you know better than others that I can be deadly patient that way.  Here's the pic, as I said, it isn't a good shot, but you get the idea. I've already put a deposit on it and have 30 days to pay it off. So somebody buy this 02C so I can show you how this CE really looks!  | ||

Heck! Feel free to talk about my layaway plan for any of them. The plan goes like so: We plan it out together. Simple huh? | ||

I admit to being a little excited about his response: "It was a proprietary guitar specifically for George's Disney store. We only made a small number. If I had to guess, probably less than 10 pieces." Now will somebody buy the 02C so I can get the new one delivered? Huh? Please? | ||
