Location: Phoenix AZ | I'm not the price police, but I would guess the '04 Collectors and now the LX version of the CL would probably depress the value of a 2001 model. |

Q: What is my Ovation guitar worth?
A: This is probably the most frequently asked question, and the hardest to answer. There are so many factors involved in pricing a musical instrument. Is is collectable? Is it rare? Is it popular? It is highly recommended that you check some online resources such as www.ebay.com. To find out how much an instrument, similar to yours, has recently sold for. Check "completed items." Other online resources include www.gbase.com and www.guitarlist.com. Your best bet, unless you need it appraised for insurance or other reasons, is to try and ask yourself "How much is this instrument worth to me?" More value related resources include the "The Blue Book of Acoustic Guitars" and "The Blue Book of Electric Guitars" both edited by S. P. Fjestad and available in paperback by Gurney Brown. There is also the software version "The S-Book of Guitars" by S. P. Fjestad. Click here to connect to Blue Book Publishing, Inc. |

Location: Carle Place, NY | Shallow bowl 1869's have been selling on eBay for $700-$800 depending on color and condition. The deep bowl cutaway 1769's go for about the same price, expect that one in near mint condition with a natural top probably would sell on eBay for a bit more. The only Custom Legend model that regularly sells in the $1000+ range is the Al Dimeola signature model.
$899 for a CL in great condition with a natural top and an Ovation case, is a good price particularly if you get to play it first to check out the sound, action, etc. |
