Location: Central Massachusetts | I am certainly going to regret doing this, but I need to move this along. I hope it can find a home within the OFC family. This FD-14 came to me from Jeff W, so many of you have already played it. It's still in near mint condition, and it still has that wonderful, warm cedar voice you remember. Only about 50 of these were ever made, so here's your opportunity to own this rare gem!
Here are the specs:
AAA grade cedar top with natural satin finish
Textured, non-cutaway deep bowl
12 frets to the body
1 3/4" nut
5-piece mahogany/maple neck with natural hand-rubbed urethane finish
Slotted headstock with ebony overlay
Gold Schaller tuners with tortoise shell buttons
Ebony fingerboard with no inlays
Ebony pinless bridge
Tru-balance pickup with direct-out preamp and preset EQ (via end pin jack)
Inlaid walnut and tortoise shell rosette and binding
9158 deluxe hard shell case in excellent condition
Modified “A” bracing
No cracks, dents, dings, scratches, burn marks, buckle rash, or repairs. I'm afraid I don't have any of the original case candy, though. Not sure what else to say about this great instrument that hasn't already been said elsewhere. It lives up to its reputation.
And here are the pics: clickity click click (click individual photos for full sized images)
$2000 shipped/insured to CONUS. Shipping elsewhere to be negotiated. Thanks!

Talk to Paul Moody about the origins of his.
David, those are sweet guitars and worth what you asking. |

Location: Seoul, Korea | Good luck with the sale, dvd! Great guitar for anyone who loves Ovation guitar and you can't go wrong with it.
I bought several years ago an FD-14 from kotadawg. Beautiful guitar which I am saving for my son for his college graduation. I think mine is the non-official version which came after the first official 50 guitar. Perhaps mine is the number 52 1/2?! |

The FD14 is probably more than I need or deserve but that has never stopped me. Maybe this will work out. |

| dvd - Is the FD-14 still for sale? Did you sell it? Did Geo buy it? Or did you "come to your senses" and keep it?
I'm more that just a bit curious, as the FD-14 is probably the best sounding Ovation ever made, and that's saying a mouthful. I've always drooled about ever owning one.
Whatever, the best to you.
