Location: Virginia | Hi Ovation Fan Club,
I'm new around here, but I have been the proud owner of an Ovation guitar for many years now!
My question to the fan club is, how can I identify the year my 1517 was manufactured and it's original list price? Also do you know what strings are recommended for it?
Sticker Info:
Model No: CC1517S
S/N: 546037
Made in Korea

Thanks everyone!

Location: Boise, Idaho | Don't know of a way to figure the date from the serial number on the Korean models. Check out all the links in the green box to the left, or if you don't see it, click Ovation Fan Club down below. You could also use the search function up above to find threads on the 1517.
Welcome aboard. |

Location: closely held secret | Welcome, Ken! I had a 1517D (my first O!) for a few years. I think the Ultra acoustic line were some of the best O's to come out of Korea.
It's pretty hard (as in I don't know how) to date the overseas models by serial#. Depending on the year, the original list could have been anywhere from $500 to $650.
For strings, I'd recommend Adamas 1818's if you like uncoated, D'Addario EXP lights if you like coated. You could also do a search on this board and find many other recommendations. |
