I was wasting time and ran across this. 850 dollars seems like a good deal to me. The seller says it is a 1983, which makes we wonder a bit.

Nice looking guitar. Single epi and beige. Have someone from Phoenix check it out for you. Old Man Arthur

I've been in contact with the seller in the past weeks and it's a very nice person.
Because the label is missing, I've tried to date this guitar with the specs only : 2 knobs stereo pre-amp, single epaulet, old trim around the top, aging of the color etc... that's why I said that it's a 83/84 model so if the date is wrong, I'm guilty... :D

I'm still have pics in high rez of this guitar and I hope it will help:

Probably 1984. That's when they started doing cutaways, but it was right before Ovation went to the OP24 in 1985. But '84 is just a guess.

Great guitar and a really great price. Hope somebody picks it up.....

I am ignorant about Adamas guitars and assumed the cut-aways came much later. This is my dream guitar. I fell in love with it after seeing the "Bubble" guitar from France. Maybe someone can get it and sell it to me one day.

Cheers,

Is anyone here actually in discussion with the seller about buying this? I don't want to torpedo anyone's plans. Weaser P

You can't just leave it there, Dave. I played one and it was the BEST GUITAR I'VE EVER PLAYED IN MY LIFE BAR NONE! WOW!!

And for $850 it's a stoopid good deal.

I don't want it. Just not sure it's worth the effort to flip it. Todd G.

Huh. And I just drove home from Phoenix yesterday. The ad doesn't say if it comes with a case or not, so I just shot this guy an email to find out.

I'm interested in this one, but I need to find out first if the person I loaned the 1881 wants to buy the 1881. I can't get serious yet, so someone else can have first shot at this.

exchanged a few emails with the seller. It has had some repairs, however, the seller was quite honest and has put a lot of money into fixing it right. I am going to pass on this one. she was very responsive to my email replies through craigslist.
