See and hear for yourself; and then bid with the security of knowing what you're bidding on.

Only 1500 of this 1995 Collectors' Edition were made and distributed worldwide, so there won't be many (if any) others in New Zealand. "1995" is inlaid on the ebony fretboard at the 12th fret.

Twenty years old, but still in very good condition, this guitar looks and sounds great. She's been loved and looked after very well. She's got a mid-depth cutaway, a very attractive “nutmeg” finish on the spruce top, a walnut bridge, gold-plated tuners, and a tasteful rosette around the soundhole. She comes with an original hardshell case with Ovation logo and all latches working.

I only play her acoustically, but I can guarantee the electrics work as they should.

1995 was the first year of Ovation’s patented “optimax” system, which added a tiny microphone sticking out under the strings from the bridge. The preamp allows you to blend this signal with the regular under-saddle bridge pickup system (six individual piezoelectric crystals set into silicon rubber).

She's also got a sweepable notch filter for eliminating feedback, if you're planning to play her on stage.

Happy bidding...she's a beauty. And reasonably priced.
