This is a very special Ovation Anniversary edition guitar. It was created for the book "The history of the Ovation Guitar" by Walter Carter that was released in 1996 to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the Ovation guitar. The guitar shipped with an autographed hard cover copy of Carter's book. Bill Kaman from Ovation told me that they simply referred to this guitar as the “book” guitar. The Ovation folks told me that only between 35-50 of these guitars were made. Needless to say, this is a very rare instrument. Technically speaking, this guitar is a very appointed Custom Elite. It has additional beautiful Ablone inlaids around the headstock. However, in difference to a regular Custom Elite, this guitar has a very nicely aged 100 year old German spruce top not found on any other Ovation and it sounds lovely. Very woody sound. Like its other high-end Ovation counterparts, It has the Optima electronics with build in tuners. This guitar is dead mint, not a scratch, not even on the original black deluxe hardshell case. It is set up with an incredible action. I have never played an acoustic with that kind of action. Sorry Taylor, this one beats you! The autographed hard-cover book of course comes with the guitar. This combination is definitively for the serious and discerning collector only. Actual shipping expenses with insurance on buyer. Payment by Money order, Paypal or Billpoint. $2500.00 [email]hws@nrc.uab.edu[/email]

Harry;

WELCOME to the site!!

After reading your description of the guitar, it took me fifteen minutes to wipe all the drool from between the keys of my keyboard!

Please clarify something for me:

1. Your profile says you're a scientist (undoubtedly a knowledgeable person).

2. One of your interests is "brain research".

D. You're actually considering SELLING this guitar.

Dear Harry,
Is it available without the autographed book? It's probably worth more that way, wouldn't you think?

I don't know about that. If he tossed in a few bucks, somebody might take the autographed book.

That reminds me, I've got a brother in law who one time bought a watch and had a Hyundi thrown in, and just recently bought a 67 E type Jag and had a condo thrown in. I don't know how he does it. True stories.
