Location: Eugene, Oregon | :) Hey!
My local GC took a 1713 in trade. It is very very near-mint. No finish cracks, great looking everything. There are two small nicks that are hard to see and not even worth mentioning.
They will let it go with the case for $250.00.
It has a very wide neck so I am not biting. My dang fingers are just too short. Please pm me if anyone is interested and I would be happy to ship her to you.

I'm so broke that if they were selling sailboats for a penny a piece, all I could do is run up and down the dock hollerin' "Ain't That Cheap!" :rolleyes: |

I have a bid on a Viper due in 40 minutes and a bid on a Papoose ending in less than 24 hours. If I get blasted out that would provide some great GAS tension release!
Can I take a number? |

I did not write down the serial number but it starts with a 3.
The wood top is just a beauty, amazing grain. The neck is just a monster of wood. :D |

Mike, have at it! |

NO, STOP, SAVE YOURSELF!!!
If you get it, can I play it?
I'd pick that one up myself, but after spending almost $700 for a guitar I already bought once, I would SERIOUSLY be in the same boat as DVD if I did that the same day. |

Location: Boise, Idaho | Andrew, there's no way you have to count your guitar you bought back with insurance money against your quota. If you do, you should be expelled from the OFC. The 1713 is a great guitar and should have the OP24 preamp. I was not a fan of classical guitars until I heard this one, probably because it sounds "better" than classical guitars. Deep bowl and cedar top gives it a rich tone instead of the plinky sound of a lot of classicals. |

We need to talk! He won't be able to talk, Mike. The duck-tape will be too tight. |

Location: Upper Left USA | My compliments to Pokeypup for going out of her way to find a home for stray Ovations stuck on a GC wall. She was ready to front her own funds on the promise that my check would actually arrive and maybe even clear!
I had an Adamas I shipped to my door just so I could hear what it was about. I have had pick up sets given to me. Members have spent hours sniffing solder so that an instrument might work. I have a recording unit sent to me and countless trinkets and pieces of wood or project materials have come my way.
Thanks Dee!
I like the way you think but as a responsible adult I have to say no, stop, don't.
But duct tape would have been my first choice.
This site is not just about guitars! |

That Balladeer looks sweet...didn't know they made them in nylon. I will definitely keep an eye on it.
Thanks for the heads up! |

I'm sorry it did not work out. I would not be feeling so frisky and mad, if I had been given the chance to answer Ernie's e-mail. The call to GC was made before Ernie even had received a reply back from me, about other members.
I have not seen this happen here before.
I have seen members helping each other find good deals. I thought my post was clear. Not, here's a good deal, let me throw it in the room and run. |

Please disregard the email I sent earlier today. I saw the 1713 for $250.00 and emailed to see if it was available BEFORE I read on the Mike already worked a deal. I can't blame Ernie for wanting to call on the guitar...if I wouldn't have read that Mike bought it, and I didn't hear back from you, I may have called as well! I truly believe he just got excited about the price and condition of the guitar, and well...you know Ovation mania!!!
Thanks for posting such a gem though... and please don't stop!

I SWEAR I didn't know..
I received a message from Mike that he doesn't want it. I've asked him to reconsider.
One thing I do know is that I will not enjoy this guitar.
The rightful owner should have it.
Mike has first right to refuse, then Norseman, it's yours.
Let me know ASAP, thanks.
Ernie |
