| Mauvais, Would/could the factory make the exact same guitar today? |

Location: SoCal | The factory can build almost anything you want. The deciding factor is what you're willing to spend. The original 1537/1547's sold for about $1200. My guess (and it's only a guess) is that to build a recreation that's really right, it would cost $3-$3500, retail.
But that is a guess...... |

Nice guitar but my 1537 days are behind me. Someone else can enjoy this one.

People kept asking me why I need more than one guitar and I had bunches of good answers but they never listened. "I don't need it. I want it and I deserve it" is a much more honest answer.
Besides, Beal is the last person to need another Ovation, and he's willing to step out of your way. |

I figured this one would get played alot. I use the 1984, the 2080D, and 1581-P. Occasionally the slotheead 35. The Elite I have is the proto and it's in CT. Somewhat comical since most of you have more Ovations than I do. I need to catch up! |

Mark,
Contact GH1. Last I knew he was interested in selling his 1547 (which was originally mine) and it is a great player that I assume is still in near mint condition. |

Location: Tennessee | Ay Caramba! I was watching this as a snipe opportunity, but it looks as though there's already lots of gunners out there. I already have a 1537 AND there's already another six stringer in a UPS truck with my name on it so I'll watch the excitement and do everything possible not to click on any buttons in the final moments.
BTW ... I think a broccoli slothead with a wideneck walnut board would be really sweet on this body. :cool: |

Now we can see how long this takes to come south. Thanks for the emails from the interested parties. |
