What's the least anyone has paid for an Ovation? |

That was the BIN price and I didn't hesitate a second to pull the trigger. |

Location: CT | 250 for a 1612 Custom Balladeer. Had it for about a week now and really like it. Used O's seem to be getting cheaper, so I figure in a coupla years I'll get them for free. |

Location: Up North | It is bizarre how the price seems to be dropping.
It seems that people who have either never played them when they had them, or have been given them by someone, and have no concept of the value of what they have.
My 1537 was originally purchased by a man who bought it for his wife to learn how to play guitar, she never caught the bug, so it sat for 20 years, then he gave it away to a friend when they moved, the guy put it on ebay with no reserve, and I scooped it. |

Location: East Tennessee | The least I paid for and Ovation was $287. It was a brand new 1115 Pacemaker 12 string.
It was in 1972 and yes I still have the guitar. :D
BTW Glenn how is your wife? |

Location: Boise, Idaho | $132.50 for the Ultra GS I just bought. Hasn't arrived yet. Then $200 for my other Ultra GS, $225 for my Custom Balladeer etc. I missed that 1537 that Stephen bought by about 10 seconds.
My Matrix was $245 new back in 1977. I probably didn't know any better back then and paid full retail. |

Mark, I've been looking at the Ultra's as well, they seem to be an incredible deal for the prices they're getting right now. |

If it's ready, maybe Waskel could bring it back to Portland and I can pick it up there. I'm sure he won't play it before I do. |

Location: Omaha, NE | Re the OFC guitar (aka "KOALA"), I'm really getting eager for mine to show up! Just can't wait! Dave's photos didn't ease the pain any. They made it worse in fact.
Even my wife asked last night if it was ever going to show up. |

No....it went to my brother-in-law who plays punk and wanted the occasional acoustic protest song.
He laughed at Ovation till he played it....then he was almost in tears telling how he had to have it.
It is now part of his "will never sell" collection. |

Location: Up North | now I'm getting confused? Is the KOALA now being referred to as the OFC guitar as well? (I thought that moniker was reserved for the 12 - Adamas 12 fret slothead, blue burst, electronic beasts)? |

Re the OFC guitar (aka "KOALA"), .... Two different guitars. The Koala is the Koa topped, Lost Art custom 12 fret, cutaway that Dave posted pics of.
The OFC guitar is that Adamas thing Al posted in some thread. Blue burst carbon top, fancy scroll work everywhere, 6 string, 14 frets to the body, etc.
Not to be confused with Al's 12 string UTE custom either. Which is another animal altogether.
Just to clarify --
