Joined: July 2010 Posts: 187 Location: Nahant, MA	Hi, Folks. I'm looking to start playing again after a *very* long time and have always wanted an Ovation. I've found a Legend 1617 in good condition for a very reasonable price...but was looking at Damon's Legend Custom and can't believe the way it looks! Putting aside all that abalone and carving, (well, and the stereo plug, too) what are the differences between the 1617 and the 1619? Thanks in advance, and great site!

A quick comparison from the Ovation website... 1617 1619 And Welcome Carol! [I cannot turn your account on... I shouldn't even be posting here but I couldn't resist :cool: ]

And if you're not happy there are a few of us locally that can thump on him! He has bought and sold a lot with us and his CL would be a great way to rediscover your passion for a guitar, especially an Ovation.
