I haven't seen one of these talked about or lusted after recently, so even though I don't have this one anymore, I'm busting it outta the archives.

This is the Folklore. It has a very wide nut at 1 7/8" leading up to a slotted headstock. I loved the rosette, but my fav on this guitar was it's luscious looking spruce top. The nut wa a bit too wide for my tastes though. I still intend to buy one of the last models (1 3/4" nut) to come out of New Hartford.... Some day.

I can almost smell the wood. Beautiful guitar(s) and stunning pictures. This is one of the reasons I seldom post pictures.

I watched one of those go by on d'Bay not too long ago.
I even bid on it.
Price went way outta my league (which isn't hard to do).
But that sure is Purdy.

I have to admit myself that its a very nice guitar. Until a few years ago I would not have looked at this particular model of Folklore. I was tied to that of the '70s.
Tastes change ... hopefully for the better.

FWIW, I saw one of these for $750 today. I'm not big on advertising retailers on here, so contact me if you're interested, and I'll point you in the right direction.

The original Folklores sound nice. Big voice and nice wide fingerboard. 1 7/8"

Price depends on condition and how much you like it.

I have a '79 Folklore that I found in a pawn shop about 3 years ago for $300. It's in good shape, the case however, is fairly beat up but still functional.

It's a very decent sounding guitar, maybe a little more bottom end than other Ovations I've played... probably because it's a 12-fretter. The neck is huge - I like it!

beautiful spruce top, I like the Rosette. though others here(Cliff) refer to it as the swirly... like a towel twisting and swirling as it flushes down the commode.

very nice photos Damon.
Thank You for sharing them.
