Im not really an acoustic player, so I'm not really up to date on whats good and whats not. Basically my girlfriends father is asking me to sell this guitar for him, and I made a craigslist ad and put it up. Before I actually let it go I just want to be sure that I am asking/getting a fair price. Can you guys help out with this...its a virtually unplayed guitar, kept in the case put away for years.

p.s. I'm obviously not posting this to coax anyone into purchasing this guitar. Don't think thats it, i just wanna be fair.

The new Ovation Legend acoustic/elec start at $1,699 at Musicians Friend. Completed listings on Ebay show similar guitars selling in a range of $500 - $700 give or take. I would say you are in the ball park given the condition of the guitar. Hopefully others will weigh in so you can get a consensus.

Nice guitar, by the way.

seems like a fair price to me ... condition is a major factor ...

Some better closeup pictures of the top would help. Otherwise a good price and a nice guitar.

Ill try and get a better picture of the top of it...it honestly has no scratches at all, no pickwear on it...its pretty much perfect

Price is probably fine. I wouldn't advertise it as vintage.

I agree, I changed the listing. I found someone else that was selling the same guitar with the same specs on ebay, and I just pasted what his said, and changed a few details. I always feel weird trying to make ads sound exciting or appropriate.
