Location: Phoenix AZ | Saw this on eBay. Looks like a very nice one for a good price. The sunburst one's are rare and always sound a little better than the others so they are in high demand. Hope someone here grabs it.

Enhances!

Location: Back in the Valley of the Sun Mesa Az. | yea well, for a real man's 1537, you need to strip out ALL the electronics and go strictly acoustical...if you can't say it unplugged...it aint worth sayin!
That's what (Norseman) says! |

Location: Phoenix AZ | I shouldn't jump to conclusions, maybe it's not true of all models. But I now for my U681 I paid a pretty penny to hav them omit the electronics. Maybe that's because it was a limited edition model. Any, I don't mind. It was money well spent and the guitar looks and plays wonderful for it. Dave |

Location: Wooster, Ohio | I think the new electronics look totally out of place on this guitar and would long for the wood knobs. Obviously I am getting old. But to me the character of the guitar is keeping it in the same period.

Location: Back in the Valley of the Sun Mesa Az. | Electronics aside, that is one beautiful piece of work. I tell yea, I don't know of a guitar that can match the warmth not only in sound, but in appearance of a 1537. I have absolutley fell in love with the one I have, and in the guitar world, I guess most would call mine a mutt...well she sparkles to me (thanks fugot). I don't particularly care for the sunburst look...but on this ebay beauty, it looks absolutely stunning!
Someone is in for a real treat with this guitar if it is indeed all it looks to be! |

Location: SoCal | When it comes to 2 knobber Ovations, I'm a traditionalist. You can adjust the plugged in sound with an eq pedal or box. Don't mess with the original looks. |
