Original owner. 10th Anniversary model from Ovation. This was almost at the top of the line in 1978 for Ovation. The color is called Nutmeg and is really beautiful with the gold tuners and the carvings on the truss rod cover and the bridge.
The guitar and case are both in excellent condition for a 25 year old guitar. Light pickscratches on the guitar. It was always kept in it's case and I use a soundhole humidifier in the winter months.
Model 1157-7:
Body Type: Deep Bowl
Top: Sitka Spruce Hand Picked
Bracing: Ovation A
Scale Length: 25 1/4"
Fretboard: Ebony, Ivory Binding

Pickup: none
Nutwidth: 1 11/16"

The top is hand selected, matched North American sitka spruce, arched slightly to resist changes in humidity and tapered to produce maximum vibration.
The Anniversary is as beautiful to look at as it is to play, combining ivory grained herringbone purfling, and an ivory bound ebony fingerboard with genuine abalone inlays in a beautiful special design.
