This guitar was purchased new by my uncle and came to me about a year ago.I play bass mostly but have really enjoyed playing such a great guitar.,I know its an early Ovation and a Josh White model but that's about it.If anyone has any additional info I'd love to hear it. Thanks | ||

I used to prefer it over the FD14, maybe because it had a more traditional Ovation sound. Haven't heard an FD14 in awhile, so maybe my thought would change. | ||

Deeper than the supershallows that came out in 83, but not as deep as the mid or deep bowls. I had a 73, but didn't use it much after I learned Classical Gas on it, so I sold it. If I try to give any more information from memory instead of looking it up, I'll make more mistakes and OMA will have to correct me. I'm used to it, though. Married with two daughters. | ||
