For Ovation’s 40th anniversary, they produced a limited run of a few of their vintage models. This is the K-1111 Balladeer reissue. Specs are true to the original with the shiny fiberglass cloth bowl, 3 piece spruce top, 5 point Brazilian rosewood bridge, enclosed Kluson vintage tuners, inlayed chainlink rosette… right down to the thick ‘duckbill' lip headstock and model logo on the thick ’skunk’ striped neck . It plays and sounds fantastic. This one is serial number 03 of the limited reissue run. I don’t believe there were more than 50 total.
