Seriously, it was probably made somewhere in that 1979-1980 timeframe. Ovation records are not always the best and sometimes you have to make a best guess. More intereseting, does your guitar have a truss rod cover indicating a truss rod, or no truss rod cover indicating that it has a K bar? |

Location: california | no truss rod cover, i think i have the original case it came with, unfourtunatly the guitar has a deep crack from the bridge to the tail that goes all the way through,but it plays and sounds just fine. And not to mention i got it for 40$ along with some other cheap Suzuki acoustic. |

Location: california | Sell it? hahah that's funny......
I like it way too much to sell,the neck feels great and I'm not stupid enough to sell it for 50$ the case alone is worth that or more. I've seen the same guitar in some old Wings live performances and I think I saw Rodger Waters playing one on some of his solo stuff,which made me think it had to be from the late 70's or early 80's atleast. |

I'll give you $55 for it. Only because I'm a lot nicer than Moody!

I just didn't want to scare away any new-guy's.
Can we send Cliff on a trip away or something? |

I'm way cooler than the two of them, Bill. And, I'll give you $79.83 for it! The GAS fun will be wiped out again, but, that's the price I must pay for issuing a proper 'welcome' to the new members.
