SOLD – Ovation 1711 Standard Balladeer Electric (1994)

$429.00

This is a wonderful 1994 version of the guitar that launched Ovation. I’ve talked about how much I like Ovation guitars before. They sound great and play great. This one is no different and it’s in amazing shape for a 27-year-old guitar. I don’t think it got much playing time with its previous owner. This would make a great working guitar. It’s rock-solid with really nice electronics. If you’re looking for a more vintage Ovation that’s in great shape, this is it. Check it out. There is a sticker on the inside that says “Factory Reconditioned Guitar”.

Doc Hanson’s Good Time Guitars: Every guitar I sell has at a minimum has been cleaned, the action adjusted to a good playing height, new strings installed, and tested by me. If the guitar has electronics, these have been tested and repaired if needed. I do not sell guitars that don’t work properly. If the guitar has been repaired prior to me receiving it, I make every attempt to describe those repairs in the listing. If I have made repairs on the guitar, I will describe them in the listing. I attempt to be as accurate and transparent as possible in my descriptions but acknowledge that I don’t know everything and can make errors. My list prices are based on the assessed condition of the guitar and market rates. I will entertain reasonable offers, and reject low-balls. My desire is to get good guitars into the hands of people to play and enjoy. I charge a flat shipping rate for every guitar shipped within the US. If you are in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area and want to look at a guitar, or pick up locally, let me know. Thanks for looking and keep on pickin’. Doc Hanson.
