I do like the look of the SB and wish I had the dough to spend.

Location: Tennessee | They either got their phone number wrong or its a scam. Costa Mesa used to have the area code 714, but it changed to 949 some years ago. Maybe a cell? Or just maybe its a scam since 741 area codes are not in the official registry but are associated with a lot of scams, phishing, and unscrupulous telemarketers.
Caveat Emptor. |

Maybe that is why those pictures look familiar... |

Location: Pueblo West, CO | I live close to where this guitar is supposedly located, so if anyone is interested in it and is serious about buying it and wants to confirm that it's not a scam, I would not mind driving over to take a look. |

The shiny bowls are very cool ... I had two originals and let them go, but I do have a K-1111RI and it's got something special in it. My other "shiny bowl" is a RedFlameT, which is a whole 'nother level of coolness. |

The guitars you mention sound cool. I'm a real sucker for great sounding, unusual-looking guitars.

Not so sure this is accurate. I found one this year for a little less than 1//2 of what he is asking. I shipped to Ovation and they polished the bowl, soundboard, dressed the frets and it looks like it just came off the rack...but when Kim got it, he remarked that it was the nicest 67 that he had seen come through there.
This year alone, I have seen three pristine examples of a 67 on the secondary market. 2 of the 3 appear to still be the property of the seller. I did speak with the the owner of the Florida K1111 and he stated that since he couldn't get what he was asking, he was going to give it to his son.

Costa Mesa is still 714. It's south OC that's 949. But 741 is not a valid area code. So either the seller is dyslexic or it's bogus.... |
