Location: Frederick MD | I'm thinning my herd to make room for a new one.
I have posted this one before and a few members had discussions about the authenticity of the 1537 model number. Let me say this about that. This guitar is not being sold as a vintage mint 1537. It had been sent to the Ovation factory for specific customization by the Ovation custom specialist. This is not a guitar that wants to be hung in your display case. This is a guitar that I have played for shows in The US, Canada, Mexico, England, Scotland, Wales, and Italy. If you are a pro or simi pro you will be able to realize the beauty and sound of this fantastic guitar.
Again let me repeat. This is a custom guitar. The people at Ovation put the sticker inside so it IS A MODEL 1537 If you are looking for a 1537 in original shape I suggest you keep looking. If you want a fantastic Ovation guitar with old wood in near mint condition. Let's talk.
Ovation Elite
Factory Modified Model 1537 (Now a customized guitar)
I bought this guitar new in the mid 1980’s > I paid something like $1600 for it then

About a year or so ago I sent the guitar back to the factory and made some custom changes to the instrument;
1) Change from a deep bowl to a medium bowl
2) Provide a cutout for easy high fret access
3) Refinish the top.
4) Chang out the electronics to the newest and best OVATION Provides.
OP-PRO Preamp
GAIN: Adjusts the overall output level of the preamp. LOW EQ: Boosts or cuts the low frequency elements of the guitar's sound. MID EQ: Boosts or cuts the middle frequency elements of the guitar's sound. HIGH EQ: Boosts or cuts the high frequency elements of the guitar's sound.

I recommend that you use a more 'open' hosting site like Photobucket.
Or just Post them here.
Personally, I get enough unwanted email without signing-up for another site.
(A "Free Trial" of snapfish came with my computer... I promptly uninstalled it) |
