Can't figure out what model I have...

lespaulson Posted 2010-01-13 9:44 AM (#382781) Subject: Can't figure out what model I have... Joined: January 2010 Posts: 4 Location: Charleston, SC I bought my Ovation in 1981. $250 used. The only numbers on it are 043787. Ovation's dating section says this is a 1975 model. It's all acoustic, no electronics at all. What type of Ovation do I have? kotadawg Posted 2010-01-13 9:47 AM (#382782 - in reply to #382781) Subject: Re: Can't figure out what model I have...

Joined: January 2010 Posts: 4 Location: Charleston, SC Thanks for the help! New to the site so I didn't know where to gather all the great info it offers. I never realized Ovation made a line of all acoustic models. Thought maybe mine was bogus. sypolog Posted 2010-01-15 12:03 PM (#382792 - in reply to #382781) Subject: Re: Can't figure out what model I have...
