You're not likely to find a cleaner example of an Ovation Magnum I than this one. Beautiful Sunburst finish. Look closely at the photos. The only flaws I can find are a single ding by the lower bout on the front, and a few checking lines in the back as well as a light scratch. You really have to zoom in to see them though. The front pickups on these basses sound massive, but not in the crazy rolled-off, EB-2 kind of way that one might expect. It has plenty of definition and clarity to balance out the bottom end. The back pickup is nice and midrangey, so between the two you have a very wide range of tonal options. Comes with the original Brown hardshell case which is in very good shape (not yet pictured - will try to upload soon).
This has a low serial number (B0024X). Not certain about the year of production but I'm guessing either 78 or 79.
It has a great setup. Due to the size of the bridge/tailpiece it's strung with special-ordered Extra Long Scale Labella Deep Talkin' Flatwound Standard Gauge strings (760FS-XL) with a gauge of 45-105. Hate to see this one go but I need to thin the herd.
