Possibly a collector's item as I don't think you can purchase this particular Ovation anymore.

This is a genuine Ovation (solid hardwood front and curved composite back, made in New Hartford, Connecticut) -- specifics of this model are in the specs below. The "Legend" was one of the top performing Ovations of its time.

Recommended Retail for this guitar I found on the web is $4,600 Australian http://www.ovationtribute.com/Catalogues/2007_Ovation_Australian_Catalog/2007_Ovation_Australian_Catalog.pdf

I bought in New Zealand 10 years ago for 3,800 (not including the hardcase which is approximately 250.00 and is included) from the Rock Shop in Wellington -- these guitars tend to appreciate or at least maintain their value.

Please see photos for specifications - this is a AAA (Master) Grade Spruce

Comes with a hard case ---

Sadly, it does have a chip on the top right hand of the neck, and small part of binding is missing on the fret board between frets 3 and 5 -- does not affect the sound though, this is reflected in the price

Please note : This is NOT the chinese copy it is a genuine USA made ovation.
