I received a new Ovation a couple of weeks ago and I'm trying to find some info on it. I know it is a CS257 but that's pretty much it. I would like to know wood composition/possible dating/anything related to this guitar would be awesome. I have found things that I think might be right but I would like some confirmation on my findings. I am also having a hard time trying to find out what kind of finish I have. It is a very nice green but has a subtle sunburst that, instead of being black, its blue around the edges.

Any and all info would be much appreciated! I'll try and attach a picture, if I can figure it out...

P.S. It probably wouldn't help seeing as its an offshore Ovation, but the serial # is 9016909


Thanks in advance.

Hi George.  I'm afraid there is not really any organized information about these guitars out on the web.  This website has just about all things Ovation and I can only find one brochure on the guitar from 2002 and you'll need to be able to read French.  www.ovationtribute.com  Sorry I can't be of more help, but welcome to the group!

Extremely sorry about the late post. Thanks a bunch for your time and effort!

I couldn't figure out how to add a picture to my comments so I'll provide a link

You can notice the blue hue that I mentioned earlier. I have found a great deal of info on the guitar. All that is left is the year and the type of finish this Ovation has.

Thanks for everything!
