hi all, I purchased a used ovation guitar, having serial number 077905 but no other distinguishing numbers or words on it. From that I deduced it was made in 1976. It has a standard acoustic shape (no cut-away).

I bought it on Ebay --

Welcome Andy, You got a steal, I think. Some of the more knowledgeable members will be along, but it looks to me to be a standard balladeer with non factory electronics. Could be wrong tho.

It's a Balladeer (deep bowl). The electronics are aftermarket...

That one really fell under the radar. What Moody said is right. Model 1111-4. A new under the saddle piezo with the jack is $60, if needed.
