1987-5 Ovation Collector Series – Gloss Black Cutaway

This rare and stunning guitar belongs to Mike WARD from Johnson City, Tennessee, USA. Thank you my friend 🙏🙏😉 1987 Ovation Collector Series (1987-5) – Gloss Black Cutaway: A true crown jewel for Ovation enthusiasts and serious collectors, this 1987-5 Collector Series model is an exceptionally rare find. While Ovation produced approximately 1,000 units of the natural top version (1987-4), this striking Gloss Black (1987-5) finish is dramatically rarer, with a limited production run of roughly 100 instruments worldwide. This particular guitar is labeled #62 of 100 on a special-edition Kaman Music Group label. Acquired from a prestigious private collection, this instrument blends high-end aesthetics with premium acoustics: Body & Construction: Features a Deep Bowl body with cutaway, a solid Sitka Spruce top, and custom scalloped top bracing that delivers rich, resonant tone and exceptional projection. Luxury Appointments: Elaborate Abalone Pearl binding encircles both the top and the neck. A figured headstock overlay showcases an inlayed Abalone Pearl Ovation logo, complemented by gold Schaller tuners featuring pearl buttons. Electronics: Equipped with the OP24 preamp system, widely regarded as Ovation’s finest and most musical electronics package, wired to a reliable mono output. Case & Accessories: Comes housed in a period-correct, late 1970s / early 1980s brown Ovation thermoplastic hardshell case containing an early Ovation owner's manual. Freshly set up with premium D'Addario strings, this instrument offers incredible resonance, stunning visual appeal, and undeniable investment value.
