Location: SoCal | Ok, who's gonna be smart and snap this up? Early 80's GC 6 string, A braced top, almost perfect condition.
I'd consider this one myself except I've got other guitar priorities this year. |

Location: Central Florida | This looks great. If the volume/tone knobs weren't located at the waist, I'd have snagged this one up at the BIN. But, since my objective would be to convert it to a lefty, it wouldn't do me any good with the volume control being where it is... Drat!!!!!!
I've never heard what an A braced GC sounds like acoustically, but I understand they're pretty awesome. I have compared Legends that were A braced against those with the VT-8 bracing, and the difference is incredible. Whomever buys this is getting one fine geetar! |

Location: SoCal | Jeff, it's not that difficult to move the preamp and put in a plug where the old one used to be. Or send it to Ovation and have them put in an OP Pro on the left hand side and refinish where the plug would be. For a total of about $750 you'd have a great guitar. Or just move it yourself and for a total of about $400 you'd have a great guitar. Clark can tell you how and what to use for plugs. |

Paul, I know I could go with either of those options to make it more lefty friendly. If I were to do it, I'd want it done it right and would send it to Keller and crew and have them weave their magic. But, as nice as it is, it's not really a "must have" for me. |

Location: SoCal | Jeff, I understand. It's not a must buy for me either. It's just a really good guitar at a really good price. |
