Location: East Tennessee | I have been fortunate and have purchased 2 Ovations on ebay.
My advice is this.
(First of all I am Not An Expert.)
1. Read the description VERY carefully.
2. Ask questions.
3. Check sellers feedback.
4. Repeat the first 3 steps.
Lastly, if it sounds to good to be true. DON'T BID. |

Location: Hicksville, NY | LOL ... I learned to play on a fake Gibson J-45. Based on looks alone, one can easily be fooled for the real thing. It had the trapezoid-shape inlays on the frets, and even the Gibson logo on the headstock. Material-wise, it was obvious that it was a piece of garbage made to look nice. Soundwise, it was a piece of crap!!
On a serious note, thanks for sharing the valuable info ... hopefully, that'll keep others from being scammed. |
