Ovation Balladeer Model 1117 vintage USA acoustic w/ohsc 1977 - sunburst

Plays and sounds great but has lots of cosmetic wear. There's a chunk missing from the headstock. There are some surface cracks in the top. No surprise there. A couple originate at the bridge. There's another near the bass side of the neck joint. There's a small shim under the saddle. The saddle itself shows wear. There's a crack in the binding on the bass side near the 12th fret. The neck is relatively straight, but there's a hump near where it meets the body. The action is still low and there's no fret-out. Frets may have been leveled at some point. They look good with minor wear. New Martin Silk&Steel lights. Case has plenty of cosmetic wear, but it's gig-worthy. Ships to lower 48. No international. No P.O. boxes. No trades.

Return policy: happy to take a return if the item doesn't match the description&photos. If there's shipping damage we'll get it sorted quickly. But I can't take any more "bought this by mistake" returns. One-man operation here. The last straw was a guy who complained an item was "in too good condition". Anyway, please triple check your order before purchasing. Thanks for understanding.
