Location: Orlando, FL | This is a very rare opportunity to own one of Ovations best - the Elite 1538 12 string! I bought this in 2007 and I can only remember seeing one or two of these for sale since then. There are a lot OFC members who have never seen onE of these in person.
This is a truly wonderful guitar, just ask any of the lucky few here on the OFC who own one. This is without question the best 12-string I have ever played.
Just like it's six string twin, the 1537, this baby has a HUGE sound. It's sound is bright, balanced, beautiful and loud! It is also a fantastic playing guitar. It has a wonderful neck and is soooo comfortable to play.
The wood grain on the top is stunning, the pictures don't begin to do it justice. The grain almost looks like a waterfall. Honestly, when I first bought the guitar and opened the case, I literally gasped at how beautiful the top looked.
I can't say enough about this guitar, other than I hate to sell it!
The one flaw is a finish crack on the lower right hand edge of the top. It is only noticeable in the right light. I had to try to capture it in the photos.
I am asking $1700 plus shipping CONUS.
Once this one's gone you may not see another for sale for years. They are that good.
Sorry, these pictures are horrible but they're all I have. I'll try to take some more tomorrow and get them posted so you can see how beautiful this guitar really is!

Location: Boise, Idaho | I can't believe your bad luck. Report it to your insurance agent. Our agent used to live in Florida and told us he had a claim for a stolen car about once a month. In the 21 years he's lived up here, he's had 4 claims total and 3 of them were recovered unharmed with empty gas tanks. |
