Location: abbotsford,b.c. | Hi everyone. I have a question i hope someone can answer. I have recently been asked by a friend to buy his ovation 1990-7 guitar. According to the info on this site there as only 500of these made,however, this one is numbered 1224. Does anyone know why? Also wondering if anyone might know what a good price might be . It is not in mint shape,but fair to good shape for sure. I hope someone can help me as I want to offer a fair price...Thanks |

Location: Blue Ridge Mountains | Welocome to the club Terry...If the guitar you are refering to is a 1990 Collectors guitar, I am not aware of any made in a -7 color as these had birdseye maple tops and were in the -4 or natural finish; at least all that I have seen...are you sure of the modrl #; can you post a picture?
In any case, welcome! |

A few were also made in -1 sunburst.

Location: Rocky River, Ohio | Forgot to mention, 1990-7's are deep bowl cutaways, and 199S-7's are super shallow bowl cutaways.
Prices have varied on these models, so it's tough to give a price without a detailed desription of condition.
The deep bowls, I believe, are more rare.
I've seen them used anywhere from 400-900 dollars depending on condition. If it's a deep bowl, and if it has the certificate of authenticity with signature, it's probably in the middle of that range.
I picked mine up cheap, but it needed a lot of work. The Ovation service department restored it to mint condition, with a NOS neck.

Location: Minden, Nebraska | 1990-7 refers to the deep bowl version, of which there were 500 made and it does have the nutmeg finish birdseye top (my favorite of all). The total run included 750 shallow bowls in nutmeg and 150 sunburst in deep and shallow. The total run makes sense of this serial number. |
