Location: Massachusetts | Sorry 'bout that ! But I bought the Thunderhead in 1968 and the music stores in my area tell me it has no value above what I paid for it then. I dont believe this at all, it still has all original parts and pickups. If its not worth that much thats ok I still love it and wont sell it. But with a serial#A-889 its got to be antique and that always has a VALUE.
Thank You :D |

If you're never going to sell, don't worry about the market value. At that point, it's priceless. |

Location: The Great Pacific Northwest | One thing nice about Ovations is that they at least hold their value. Some at any given point in time may be worth more to a buyer that's looking for something specific. For more information of values of instruments check the FAQ in the reference section. |

Location: Massachusetts | Thanks " Moody,P.i." and Mr.Ovation your right it is priceless to me. I paid $500 in 1968,Ovation was a brand new company (as you know). We all have different senses of why we need to know the value of somethings in our lives and sometimes its just pride.
Thankyou |

Go to the bulletin board and get into some of the discussions of these Ovation instruments and you will meet a group of people who know and value the quality and variety of these instruments over the years. If you enjoy your instrument, then you can brag about it, describe its features and generally have a good time with others with the same interests. Sometimes the question of the value in the real world of a rare and quality instrument such as yours leads to biblical quotes of "casting pearls before the swine".
