Track a couple of Ebay auctions for model 1115 or 1615. That'll give you some indication. I had an 1115 restored by The MotherShip recently. Sweet. Best money I've spent this year (the 1127 was, technically, in 2003).

the cheapest would be a Ko-Reehan one if you're looking new.

The CS-255 I restored (peghead repair) was in the neighborhood of $250.00 for the project, as I recall. Nice guitar, actually. Sold it for about $300.00, about 18 months later. New, about $650.00, with case. So, do the math. How much are cosmetics worth?

I have a CC65 in beautiful condition I may part with. The only bad thing, is I don't have a case for it. Deep Bowl, A/E great doesn't have real deep bass, but very beautiful high end harmonics. Very easy to play.

Hey BadKharma,

You might want to consider a Takamine 12 string. They can be had for $200 and they soound half way decent in my opinion. Kaman Instruments (parent company of Ovation) imports this Japanese made brand. Charles Kaman liked the sound of them way back in the 1980's (?) and started a joint importing venture with the factory. Also, Glenn Frey of The Eagles and others seem to like them so consider it. I've had one for twenty two years and it still sounds, looks and plays fine. Play On!

So these two Seagulls are flying along. One says "See any Ovation Players?". The other says "Yah, I spotted a couple!".

"He's washing his MOB right now"!


In the future try to avoid the word "Cheap".

Try "Entry Level" or "Affordable" or even "A Value" to say you don't have much jing. You'll get more sympathy and offers as well. Unlike talking to a car salesman say how much you have to spend. There are many here that would rather sell at a lower price to an OFC Member than to make a buck or two more. It's a good side of the sickness we share! :)
