Bought my 1717 Legend of ebay, paid less than $225 shipped with case. Beautiful sound, accurately represented by the seller. No regrets. Bought the Pacemaker of an OFC member, no regrets there either. Rings like a bell!

If you can live with finish cracks, an older Ovation is fine. There is cracking on most of my roundbacks, however, the wood is still in tact. Buy new if you want "mint". You can't expect perfection in an old guitar unless the previous owner never played it. If a guitar sounds good, it is good. JC

Thanks to Gallerinski for the reference in your March 16th posting. I am selling my 1981 Legend in order to pay for a mandolin that I just purchased.

My guitar is an original model 1651-7 Legend Limited, the same model that John Lennon is shown playing on his "Acoustic" CD (Compilation released in 2004).

The -7 refers to the top color (nutmeg). It was made in 1981, and I bought it new in 1982.

I have set-up a profile on the OFC companion social networking site. My public profile page has several nice images and a slide show of my model 1651-7 Legend Limited.
