Wellcome!!!
My first Ovation was an Applause AE 127, and then...
But I've sold all Applauses and Celebities last year, now I've only....a lot of guitars.

| Krtrader, welcome to the OFC. Ovation guitars are kind of like Lay's potato chips -- you can't have just ONE (although I currently have only one Ovation, I'm always scheming for the next one!)

I just got myself a real ovation off from ebay(item#110463555688).I don't know much about this guitar.it's look a little old but I think I will sand off the old laquer and run to the home depot,get a can of laquer then spray on it make it look new again.I'm originally fron Bangkok,Thailand and live here in Los angeles,CA for 13 years.Now I think I feel like I'm a full member of OFC since I got a real ovation guitar lol.Any comment about this guitar??? |

Location: Atlanta, GA. | The Patriot is based on the Ovation Legend model.
Both great guitars. Yours is "Road Worn" as the auction says, but that just adds character to it.
Sand off the finish on the soundboard??? I wouldn't!
There should be an applique on the lower bout that is specific to the Patriots. Only 1776 of these models were built.
Enjoy it. |

For what you paid, just clean her up well and wear it completely out. |

Location: Utah | Don't destroy the Patriot! It is a rare guitar, in demand. The condition will reduce it's value, but refinishing it yourself will destroy any value remaining, without improving the sound or mojo. |

One comment- If you really can't live with the finish send it to the Mothership. I can nearly guarantee that what you are thinking about doing to it will not be an improvement. |

| Thank you for all the comment.When I decided to bought this guitar I just want to own an ovation guitar but not the celebrity(I've tried at GC but I didn't like the sound) not realize that it is a rare model.After I look around most of them cost over my budget(350-400) then I found this one for$375.I got it cheap(I think???)it looks old and I just want to refinish it myself.But after I review all the comment I think should appriciate what I have and I will leave it alone and I'm sure I will enjoy playing my guitar. |

Location: Boise, Idaho | Leave it alone and play it. I paid significantly more for my Patriot, with a couple of finish cracks. I was told that the factory can't refinish it without destroying the decal, and there is no way to replace it.
Mine plays so easily and sound so good that it rivals my 1537. |
