Glenn Campbell Signature Proto

Glen Campbell Signature Proto (Thanks to Ken for permission to use his photos) (1968) This guitar isn't Glen Campbell's first Ovation, but it was the first one made specifically for him. It's actually the prototype of the "Glen Campbell Signature" model that would be produced for over 30 years. Only 50 to 100 of these were produced in the very first series of G.C. Signature guitars. The difference from later models is the glossy (untextured) Lyrachord body and the "Deluxe" inscription on the headstock. This prototype is the only one to have the initials "G.C." inlaid at the 12th fret, a feature never found on any production model. It's also worth noting that this model is one of the very first to be produced with the famous "X" bracing.
