Rare Left-Handed 1981 Ovation Model 1687-8 12-String Acoustic

We are thrilled to offer this exceptionally rare, left-handed 1981 Ovation Model 1687-8 12-string acoustic guitar. Finding a high-quality, period-correct 12-string from this era is difficult enough, but encountering one factory-configured for a lefty player is a true unicorn find.

This instrument has been well-preserved and remains all-original. It plays and sounds fantastic, with that signature rich, chiming Ovation projection that cuts through perfectly. The action is comfortable, and there are no functional issues—it is stage-ready or studio-ready right out of the case.

Condition Highlights

• Overall Condition: Excellent vintage shape.
• Body: Shows only a few very small, light marks consistent with careful ownership over the last 45 years.
