Different looking Legend on ebay. They are listing it as a rare early legend model 1119. It does look different than any others I have seen. Is the desription accurate?

Yup. That's a first year custom legend. I don't know about the label being gold color to improve acoustics. Although that same technique was used for the white inside hatch door paint on elites. Anyway looks like a nice guitar and I bet it sounds wonderful. Dave

And the seller is one of our own...this listed guitar is the basis for what was produced in 2004-the anniversary model of the Custom Legend...see the advertisement:

It's nearly identical to my 1619-4 made in -75, but mine has pickup and preamp. And yes, it sounds lovely, I was hooked after strumming the first chord twenty years ago!

Curious; I have a friend who is totally into everything Paul of the Fab fame. I will look on the internet, but does someone have a site where I can find photos and information specifically about this Legend his wife got for him or any Ovation guitars Paul used??
Thanks ahead of time
