1974 Ovation Custom Legend US Info Sheet

Year: 1974

Two-page promotional info sheet for the Ovation Custom Legend guitar, featuring both the acoustic electric model 1619-4 ($750) and acoustic model 1119-4 ($640). Highlights A-braced Sitka spruce top, laminated fiber glass bowl, 30 genuine abalone inlays in the fingerboard, 24 carat gold-plated Schaller machine heads, abaloid purfling, and detailed specifications. Printed and manufactured in USA by Ovation Instruments Inc., New Hartford, Connecticut. This document is probably one of the very first published for the 1119 & 1619 Custom Legend models. As you can notice, the bridge and TRC have inlays and are not carved like on the later models. If I'm right, the tuner's buttons seems to be more rectangular than usually??
