About This Listing

Sweet old Ovation, sounds fantastic, plays fantastic, had a scratchy pot, deoxit fixed that​. I put 9s on it, I suspect it had 10s when I got it as I had to loosen the truss, not enough tension.

Weirdest bridge, ​, brass saddles, nicks and dings, especially on the headstock, and the back plate is scratched up. Still beautiful, and sounds great. There's a special breed of people that love these ovations, and I get it.
