Location: Gardnerville, NV | I bought my first Ovation in 1975. It was an 1121 with the Artist Bowl. I think I paid $375 for it and I could barely afford it. As life happens, I needed some money and I sold it. As I made my way back to Ovation in 2004 with the purchase of the 1719-30-CL, I often wondered about my old Artist. I found a 1621 Artist on Reverb and left it on the computer screen to handle a horse emergency outside. When I came back inside, my wife was looking at the computer and asked me about this guitar. I explained what happened to my old one, pre-her, and she insisted on buying it for me to celebrate our wedding anniversary. A new set of strings on it’s arrival and it’s a thrill to play. |

Congratulations.. happy anniversary.. and how's the horse?
Horses are just fine. Apparently, what they consider an emergency with all the noise and ruckus they create, isn't necessary an emergency at all. |
