Location: Warren,Pa. | I've had this 1114-4 for a couple of years. I had it sent directly from the seller to the Mothership. Had some phone time with K.K. and let him have his way. They put new steel string tuners on it, a bone nut, gave it a good buffing and sent it to me.
I made a Micarta saddle for it and installed black Dunlop strap buttons.
This is a '76, but it looks like it spent most of it's life in the case. It has a small ding in the top finish. There's a stress crack at the neck/headstock joint...I was willing to have Kim do anything he saw fit, but he assured me it was fine and should be left alone. Otherwise, this is a clean, shiny, well-taken-care-of 35 year old guitar. No finish cracks, clean bowl, does NOT show it's age.
This guitar did not come with a case, but I'll supply a TKL/Ovation ultralite case which is worse for wear but it's OK.
The only reason I want to part with this guitar is the neck is too wide for me. Arthritis pushes me into a corner with my playing more and more each year. I LOVE the 12 fret because it keeps my left hand closer to my body, but I need a narrower neck.
I have $300 into this guitar; that's what I'd LIKE to get. I have no idea how to track what a reasonable price is in this economy. I don't need the money to buy food. I just know I won't use the guitar again.

I'm interested. |
