Location: San Antonio, TX		Thanks to Beal meeting me in a remote parking lot to make a deal(felt like I was in high school again), brought home a Patriot.

Pretty good condition, few nicks here and there, two small finish cracks. For 43 YO guitar it is nice. Sounds real good.

Got mine from Beal too. Great guitar!

It's also #76, which nudges the "cool factor" just a smidge higher.

Congrats!!

Location: Utah		Mine is #401. The best acoustic sounding wood-topped Ovation I've ever heard. Mine has no electronics. If I was forced to keep only one guitar, this would likely be it.

Location: Muenster/Germany		I heard only miraculous stories about the sound and playability of these guitars, but I will let them stay where they belong - in the U.S.

They should have made a "1990" model like this with a stamp of the Berlin wall for the german Ovation fans...;-)

I had #541. The music store I frequented had one on display and another still in its box. The store let me open the box the second one came in. I was the first person to see it after the folks at Ovation put it in its case and crated it for shipping.

I had it for 17 years and still rue the day I let it go 25 years ago.

Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains		If finding a genuine Patriot model seems difficult, try an original Legend Ltd (aka the John Lennon model) which is essentially the same guitar sans the decal. Someone once posted here that the Legend Ltd was built out of leftover parts from the Patriot run, which is why those models sound just as good. Beal probably could verify this. I am an original owner of a Ltd from 1980/1981.
