cwk2 signed the tag inside, called ovation and they had little knowledge on it. Said it was a rep or in factory model. They didnt sell these. Anybody know the true value of it.

Doesn't Wong have one of these also? Very nice guitar. I'm assuming that Nick M. made a few of these in Mooseup. 5-10? I don't know and really wouldn't have any idea.

Not certain I'd know how to put a price on it, but
Al might know. I'd guess that you'd have to talk to him off the board. He doesn't tend to talk money on the board.....

Value; $5000-10,000 somewhere in there
Slotheads are in the same ball park and there are 34 of them
guitars like this I doubt there were more than 10 made.
The signature devalues it by at least a grand....

Well thanks for the info. The guitar is deep and wide. It has the most amazing tone like no other i have ever heard. Also what meant by cwk2 signed it meaning the ovation tag inside, not the actual guitar.

If you don't tell anyone that cwk2 poses as Beal on this board, the signature probably won't devalue the guitar as much.
And be sure to point out how much effort it took for him to sign it through those little holes.

The pic might've distorted slighty in re-sizing . . .
