Joined: November 2008 Posts: 1119 Location: Michigan | Sometimes I feel like such a noob but I need some clarification. Can someone tell me the differences between the FD-14, 1614, and K1114 reissue? I am contemplating selling a nice pistol to fund something but not being able to play and see all of these it is confusing. PS anyone wants to trade for a nice Wilson Combat Custom Colt 45 acp? :) :) | ||

The original came out in 1968 (?) and was discontinued in 1969 when White died. 1614 - Acoustic electric version of the same basic guitar but renamed the Folklore after White's death. Came out in 1972 and was built until the early 80's. FD14 - Run of 50 guitars (built in 2003, I think)in the same basic configuration as the Folklore except it has a cedar, A braced top, and different trim. | ||

One in good shape? The perfect guitar - you'd never want to sell it and, if you did, you'd never lose on it. | ||

This place is a wealth of knowlege (at least about Ovations :) ) Anyone know if the nut width is the same for all three? According to the history page the 1614 is X braced and Moody said the K1114 is also. Am I correct to assume the FD-14 uses the x bracing as well? | ||
