In these turbulent times i decided to put on offer a very rare vintage Ovation Patriot acoustic-electric guitar made in celebration of the USA bicentennial back in 1976. Ovation only produced 1776 of these guitars and only a handful of these were electrified as this one - a true RARITY!!! Each was individually numbered and this one is #1762 of 1776. Included is the original hard shell case.Condition:First off, this was/is a players guitar and therefore it has its road-worn appearance (see pictures) and so does the case it comes in.However it was always maintained in excellent playing condition, straight neck, changed frets, regularly serviced for playability and flawless AMAZING sound, but not so much for the looks.For this reason i think those looking for a flawless "looker" should look elsewhere, but i really hope this one gets into the right hands, because this guitar has an amazing sound and mojo, which is something you can't really put a price tag on!In the pictures i mainly tried to show the flaws, because i don't want complaints or return requests due to its appearance!I can honestly say that the sound of this guitar is one of the nicest i have ever heard, and i have heard many, especially how it sits in the mix!Electronics works and sounds fabulous too!The announcement by Ovation Instruments Inc. New Hartford from 1976 read:This is the Ovation Patriot, a unique guitar manufactured in Connecticut, one of the original thirteen colonies. Made in the tradition of the New England Craftsmanship and made in a limited edition of 1776 guitars. Each guitar is numbered and registered.The Patriot is a premium Ovation acoustic guitar combining the features of our Legend and Custom Legend models. The bracing is our latest A-braced pattern for maximum top vibration and maximum sound. The inlays are abalone throughout. The top is book-matched Sitka Spruce. The body is our famous Lyrachord roundback design, the product of years of testing. The roundback guitar produces the clearest, fullest, brightest acoustic guitar sound around today.To make the Patriot a distinctive musical instrument we have specially stained the top a "Connecticut Nutmeg" to give the guitar a unique appearance. Then an artist added a hand-stenciled eight color design in the style of Early American Stenciled Furniture. After we built the 1776th guitar, the stencils were destroyed. This guitar will never be built again.The Ovation Patriot is a fine performance instrument, and someday will be a collector's item.The Ovation Patriot is our contribution to the anniversary of our country.Overall, this is an amazing guitar and to this day one of the finest Ovation has ever produced. It plays beautifully and has a very rich, bright sound that the high end Ovations are famous for.THIS GUITAR SHIPS FROM SLOVENIA (EUROPE) so no extra duties would apply to EU buyers, plus it is EXTREMELY rare in EU,but I WILL SHIP WORLDWIDE too!!!REDUCED PRICE FOR A LIMITED, ONE LISTING TIME ONLY!Thanks for looking.
