| Wonder what Ovation would charge to make one as a custom order?
Same material, same specs..etc. |

Location: Boise, Idaho | It's also my daughter's 25th birthday this week. I told her she'd inherit the 1537, but I got her an 83 Collector's for her birthday. That will have to do until I die. Maybe that way she won't be hoping I kick off early so she can get the 1537. |

Location: Simpsonville, SC | Steve, why not buy a used one and send it to "Mother" for a full makeover. I am sure that it would be a lot cheaper than a special order.
Mark, you may be encouraging her to seek your early demise. Why settle for one when you can have two! |

Location: Cincinnati | There's a 1537 on Craigslist in Littleton, Co. for $600. The seller has a link to Dave's website, but no photos of the listed guitar. There are a few members in that area that might take a look at it if anyone is interested. |

Location: Steeler Nation, Hudson Valley Contingent | And this is the perfect thread to announce that I will have one in my hot little hands (UPS gremlins willing) by the end of the week. (Along with another beauty that will remain a mystery until it arrives safely and I can take pictures.) Last week was the best online scrounging week I've ever had...bar none! :D |

Hi Stephen, I already had my little brother check it out Yesterday. Some pick scratching and a 1/4" finish crack next to an epaulette. Otherwise, it sounds in good shape.
I now need to reimburse my brother $600! Yay!  Pray that UPS doesn't banjanx the whole transaction.  |

Location: Cincinnati | To make a long story short, that one is no longer available. Congratulations, Patch. I emailed the seller either Friday or Saturday but never received a response. I hadn't planned on buying it but if it sounded decent I was going to post it here. Be sure to post some pics when you get it. |
