My dad's getting rid of his acoustic electric guitar.

If anyones interested let me know I might be able to talk him down on the buy it now price.

He's got another ovation that I'll probally be putting up aswell.

If it was a 12-string I would buy it.  Good luck on the auction. :)

This guitar will sell quickly-probably today.  You could have almost doubled the buy it now price.  If I had a spare $200 laying around I'd buy it even though I don't need it (wife says I already have too many).  Very reasonable shipping price.  If anyone is in the market, I highly recommend this guitar.

P.S.  If you have the abiltity, add the word "Ultra" to the title.  You will get a lot more hits and it will narrow down search results for people looking for higher end Ovations.

I'll keep an eye on it, but as Skilless said, this should sell fast. If I had the $200.00 waiting to be burned I'd buy it now. Sadly I do not.:mad:

HA!  I just took a look at the auction.

If I was to buy another guitar it would be an Ovation 12 string.  Buddy owns one of the soup bowls and it's incredible!

You don't play, do you hawklore?  Yank that 'tuning' part out of the auction and ship it with the strings loosened up or with no strings at all.  It's a myth that it's bad for geetars to have the strings loosened.

And when it comes to tuning...just playing the guitar ultimately changes it.  Temperature, humidity and all that jazz affect the strings.  It makes ya look silly to say something like that!

-shrug-

Someones allready bid on it.

I just will tell them I won't tune it due to shipping distance, etc.

I'm trying to make some money off my dad by putting this up for him, gotta give him pocket change somehow.

:lol

It takes him forever to tune one anyways..

:p

Sorry RedTop,

Didn't see your post about wanting the guitar until I posted it on e-bay.

Interested in a trumpet?
