I once owned one of these guitars pictured on Carter's book. It's a very ornate Custom Elite model with inlays all around the neck and fret board. It was sold with an autographed copy of Carter's book. I am willing to pay top dollar for the guitar.
Thanks

The Ted Brown Music Store in Tacoma WA has a "new" 1996 LTD on the rack. It was never sold and would come with full warranty. They were asking $1399.

It plays great, sounds great and has one minute ding on the upper bout that Ovation counld easily buff out.

I tuned it Saturday after playing the 05 Collector.

Harry,

I don't have your original guitar but I do have one I would part with. I bought from a member here a year or two ago. Don't play it much, very nice but with 2 small finish cracks.

Harry, I also know where there is a NOS "book" Elite in a shop in Indiana....but I'd pursue the other leads first, that shop wanted a ridiculous amount for it, over $3000(!!!).

Thank you all for your help. The shop in Tacoma did indeed still have the guitar and I ordered it. Should be here sometime next week. Again sincere thanks for that lead!

But...

...now I can't play it when I go grazing! :(

Seriously Harry, that was a nice guitar!

And, being fresh from downtown Bremerton this very morning, I have one more thing to say:

"Give em hell, Harry!"
