A 2000 Collector's in very good condition that plays like crazy and looks ...well...marvelous! It's a Mid-depth C/A with a Figured Lacewood top that's stained in an unusually graceful finish called transparent honey. The figure in the stain is so intricate that it's difficult to describe. Up close the figure and graining is so tight that you just stare at it and say "That's really cool!" From a distance, the face fo the guitar shifts slightly as it moves in the light and catches the figuring from different angles. Then there's the sound. I just put new phosphor bronzes on it and it has a big, brassy sound that has a lot of punch. In other words, VERY nice. A couple of other specs: Scale Length is 25 1/4" and a nutwidth of 1 11/16", the fretboard is strikingly grained Rosewood, it has a very classy inlay on the 12th fret. It comes with the Optima pre-amp with built-in tuner and the Tru-Balance pick-up. It has only minor cosmetic issues: The gold-plating on the tuners has worn a little, the area where there is normally some pick-scratching is a little dull (though you can't tell from 5 feet away), there's also a single scratch (about an inch and a half long) on the back from someone's belt buckle probably, some slight wear on the "cowboy" frets, and two small dings on the headstock; which by the way has a matching Lacewood overlay and a lovely gold Ovation logo. You have to be within a couple of feet to notice any of this. It comes with the 9158 hardshell case which has definitely seen some use. It apparently had stickers on it at one time which have been removed. It shows some scuffing and has two small cracks each just over an inch. (See Pictures) However, the hinges and clasps are solid and the interior is in good shape. The case should last a very long time. Ask any questions. The pictures really don't do this one justice at all. Pay by Paypal, and I can usually ship within 24 hours. I'm asking $895 shipped in the continental U.S. International members need to check with me about shipping charges first, though I've shipped several instruments overseas without incident (knock on wood). I hope to hear from some of you soon; this guitar is definitely worth your time.         | ||

I'm actually set to send a project to the mothership, and buying this one could delay it. On the other hand, selling it would actually pay for the project. The ad didn't give you much to go on, but if the only problem is the finish crack, I'm not too worried about getting my money back out of it. I guess I'll just have to play it to see what kind of shape it's in first. :p | ||
