Location: Michigan | Hello everyone. I am considering selling my 1769 Custom Legend. It has a new top and new bowl courtesy of Kim Keller at the factory. Purchased new in 1999; cadillac green w/all the trimmings.
Can anyone tell me what it's worth??
Thanks! |

Location: Minden, Nebraska | Cadillac Green was a popular Ovation color in the '90's. The fact that it is a rare color on a Custom Legend may enhance its value -- slightly -- if you can find someone who likes the color. Natural, CCB, and Black are the most common colors for the model but Sunburst and Cadillac Greenburst were available on the Custom Legend when this guitar was made. |

Location: 6 String Ranch | OK, I'm sorry. Green is beautiful. I had a green Eldorado when they came out with the new model in 92. I guess that makes me responsible. (Doesn't that give me the right to be the first one to throw a stone?) |

Location: 6 String Ranch | and they didn't offer the Biarritz in 92. It was the first year of the new body style. That went for a 95 Saab aero which went for a 97 S500C for a 2001 CL55 and then the current CL55M. |
