Ovation - the Anniversary Ovation Model #1157-7

I'm sure you know about these guitars; made in 1977 - snowflake inlays, herringbone binding, gold tuners, etc.
Mine is in near mint condition is all original and includes the factory hard case which is perfect.
Could you please give me an idea of current value?
TIA
Mike

BTW I also have a Fender F-35 and read your info on it but my question is: my serial # is F7052159, what year was this guitar made?

ANSWER

Hi, Mike--

The serial number came up as "unrecognized". The F-35 was manufactured between 1972-1981.

As for the Ovation--

Strangely, this guitar is not listed in nthe Blue Book, nor could I find any pricing info on the internet. One owner described the guitar as extremely rare but not extremely valuable. I am sorry I could not be of more help to you. May another visitor will have some better info.
