Many Thanks to Joël from France for these great photos. Here's the story of this guitar sent by Joël: "...It's a model made by Ovation at my request. It has some unique aesthetic features, but also some technical ones. First of all, the color: Ovation only releases the Folklore in natural wood finish, mine is transparent blue (ref 8T), a color usually reserved for the Elite or Celebrity Deluxe models. The Abalone inlay binding, which I believe is no longer standard on Ovation models, was only available on the Custom Legend, as was the Abalone rosette, which is no longer glued on plastic like it was a few years ago but is an integral part of the top (a marvel). The headstock is glossy black, whereas on the standard Folklore it's matte. Finally, the Ovation logo on the headstock is also Abalone. As for the technical aspects, I requested a deep bowl body for more warmth and power. The standard model has a mid-bowl body. The electronics are handled by the OP50 preamp (instead of the OP40 for the standard model)." (series) with a built-in tuner. And finally, it's equipped with a very practical XLR input, perfect for both stage and home use. That's the USA part. Three months after acquiring this marvel, I contacted my luthier to decorate the fretboard of this fabulous guitar, and it became even more beautiful... The fretboard is inlaid with an abalone tree of life that echoes the shape of the original Ovation fret markers in places, and a white mother-of-pearl bird. The bridge wasn't forgotten either. It's decorated with two discreet abalone flowers that echo the shape of the Ovation fretboard markers..."

These photos are from a listing posted a few years ago. If you are the owner, please feel free to contact me. Description from the original listing: This is a Custom Ordered 1975 Model 1624-4. It’s truly the cream of the crop for someone looking for a nylon string or collectable rare Ovation. This guitar features all of the appointments found on the steel string Custom Legend, including the stereo pick up system. It has the desireable Artist Depth hand-laid Brown bowl. Specs: Cedar Top Gold Plated Tuners Artist Size Hand Laid Brown Bowl Dots and Diamonds Inlays Abalone Outlined Fretboard Abalone Soundhole Ring Abalone Bound Top Stereo Electronics White Bound Neck Carved Truss Rod Cover Additional (Non-Factory) Snowflake and Branch Inlay The guitar is Serial Number 132376 The neck is narrower and shallower in profile then a traditional classical guitar neck. At the nut the width measures 1 7/8” which provides sufficient spacing for nylon strings. The neck joins the body at the 14th fret like most steel string guitars. - The bracing is in Ovation’s VT-8 Pattern. This pattern was shared with certain steel string Ovation models. For reference other Ovation nylon models used a modified double fan, or a hybrid fan. The difference in bracing is the main reason when looking at 25+ year old Ovations, that frequently the classicals have multiple top cracks while it’s rare to see any on the Country Artist.
