OK folks, I thought I was going to keep this one, but I've got my wishful eye on something else (or 2...or 3). The thing is, I had some communication recently with Trader Jim, and I fear the man may just be contagious.

Anyway, there's not a thing wrong with this one other than minor scratching from normal use. You really have to look for it. It sounds wonderful, especially for a shallow bowl. The pre-amp and on-board tuner work fine. The neck is straight and the intonation true. I have to say again, it's a perfectly fine instrument. Here are the specs from Ovation: It has the "Blue Sparkle" finish (Haven't seen that one very often.), AA Grade Solid Sitka Spruce, A Bracing, Scale Length of 25 1/4, Bound Ebony Fretboard, Fret Inlays are Mother of Pearl, Ebony Bridge, , Tru-Balance pick up, Nutwidth is 1 11/16, Gold Ovation tuners, and the Inlayed Oakleaf Rosette (I love this, but it's also the only area with any flaw, though very minor. It almost looks like the rosette was scratched before finishing. Look at the close up at about the 4 o'clock position.).

It comes with its hardshell case and just got some new strings. You won't find a better or more comfortable gigging guitar. I'm asking $565 shipped in the continental U.S. I'll also consider interesting trades, even involving +/- cash. International folks definitely want to check about shipping charges first. As always, ask any questions and let me know what you think.

I have never seen one done in a blue stain like this. Interesting

Patch, do you mind if I link to a couple of your pics? I might know a buyer for you over in a different forum.

A detail I forgot to mention before; I just had it inspected locally, and they were genuinely impressed by its condition. Other than the normal wear mentioned before, they couldn't find anything negative about it. It really is in good shape!

No worries, he's a blue guitar lover, and has an O already (though I think it's a Celeb)

Gosh durn it, Patch. That is a really nice looking guitar!
With an OP-24+C no less.
Figures that would become available just when I spent my Bushie-Money* on another guitar.

A Celeb was my first 'O' last August and the damage control is not working!

OK, time to get serious. I just pulled the trigger on another guitar yesterday, so I need the money more than I did the day before. Reasonable offers anyone? I haven't disappointed anyone yet when they purchased one from me.

this model is very nice, and sounds much larger than the shallow bowl would lead you to think..

Al,(slydog) has the same model done in a silver flake like this one is done in blue, and is one of the nicest and loudest shallows that I've played.

Good luck with it Patch, it's worth every penny.

Hi folks,

Just wanted to let everyone know that I will be leaving town for Easter Sunday later this afternoon. I won't have internet access until I get back, so I won't be able to reply to questions until tomorrow night. If you want to move more quickly, find my ad on the Hudson Valley Craig's List, it has a cell number you can use.

Well...it's for sale again. The buyer decided a shallow bowl just wasn't his thing. He has to ship it back, assuming it arrives OK, everything is as it was. So who wants it? :)

I got the guitar back today. It looks as good and plays as good as ever. So how about helping me move this thing. Any offers out there? :confused:
