Location: Jet City		All acoustic. In beautiful shape minus the few tiny dings and slight tarnishing on the tips of the tuner posts.

If you're not familiar with the Anniversary, it's an A-braced Legend, pre-Kaman Bar, with herringbone around the top binding and rosette, multiply headstock and heel cap laminates like the Adamas II (ebony, maple, rosewood), abalone logo, and carved walnut truss rod cover and bridge.

The Anniversary came in a special "-7" finish, and someone took some time on this one, it's almost a sort of burst.

The best thing about this guitar is the sound. I've never owned an A-braced non-cutaway with no electronics. There's a visible difference for sure. This one is louder than any of the Ovations I have.

If you play unplugged a lot, it doesn't get much better than this for a wood-topped O.

Comes with it's original case. $580

Location: Jet City		One last thing. I've taken detailed pictures of the "dings". They've aged along with the top and it's why they're so dark. They're actually very small and you can hardly even feel them when running your finger over it. If it was a natural finish, you wouldn't even see them.

Remember, it's a 30 year old beauty.

Location: Bellevue, Washington		I also own one of these and I can definitely attest to the great sound they have. As far as center-hole O's go, I have yet to find one that matches this in both tone and volume! At this price, it will go quickly!

Whoever snags this will be VERY happy! Good luck with the sale :)

Location: Vernon CT		Damon, That IS my favorite looking Woodtop Ovation. Something about the color. I've played one of those about 2 1/2 yrs ago in 5/10 shape and it sounded sweet. Wish I was in the market!
Good luck!!
