You are bidding on a very nice vintage 1975 Ovation Acoustic Guitar.  Specs: -Full size, deep bowl guitar -this guitar has a beautiful 5 piece neck. Th two outer pieces are mahogany and the two inner are maple.  -Diamond inlays on the fingerboard  -Ebony fingerboard -Walnut bridge -AAA Sitka Spruce top, hand picked for these guitars.  -Original hard shell case  -internal pickup -Gold tuners Condition:
For a 40 year old guitar it's in great condition. As with many vintage Ovations, there is some minor cracking on the top. Nothing that impacts sound or playability. The neck and body are in excellent condition. The guitar sounds and plays great. The original hard shell case is in great shape. Some marks and scratches but works just fine. 

I have owned this guitar for 20 years myself. I have not plugged it in for the majority of that time. I assume it works but it has not been tested. 
You will pay thousands more to get these features on a modern guitar or a Martin, Taylor etc. Also, this guitar has an amazing vintage tone to it. You can't reproduce that amazing sound with a newer guitar.  I've tried to photograph the guitar as best as possible. Please feel free to ask any additional questions.  Due to the excessive shipping costs associated with a guitar all sales are final.  I have been buying and selling on EBay for over 15 years. I have 100% positive feedback. Literally... all positive.  Feel free to make an offer. Worst I can say is no.
