Another guitar up for auction from my Ovation Solid Body Collection is this Classic Black Ovation Viper in PRISTINE condition. This guitar shows hardly any signs of ever being played. No fret wear, No buckle rash, etc. The action is low and smooth with no string buzz and everything works as it should. Hard to believe this guitar is over 25 years old. Clean, pristine and classy.

Wonderful old Ovation Breadwinner. I bought this in 1983 from a bar-room musician and used it extensively in the mid eighties up until 1988. It has the expected wear that a well used guitar would have. It has an extremely low action and all electronics work as they should. I  have tried to capture as much of the guitar as possible in pictures so you can see all nicks and scrapes. Here are some worth calling out:

1. Headstock - notch in the headtock from the guitar case (pic 11)

2. Nick in the wood between 16th and 17th fret (pic 5)

3. Fretboard between the nut and first fret is worn (pic 3 but hard to see)

4. Nut is wearing and will need replacing at some stage

5. Small crack in the wood under the base plate near the batteries (pic 12)  - this was as I bought it and has not moved/widened in the 25 years I have had it

6. General paint off edges (pics 7, 9 10)

7. The chrome is coming off the base plate and the neck plate (with the serial number)

8. The paint on the back of the neck is smooth and yellower than the other paint due to wear

Those are the main issues.

This is a lovely, quirky old guitar and the paint has gone from white to a nice cream color.

Serial number is E5460 and it comes with the original (and battered but still very much working) case.

Ovation Viper super light-weight URELITE body in Black. The exposed part of the body (where the pick guard does not cover) is NEAR FLAWLESS!!!!- See photos. This body weighs just a little over 3.5 pounds (3 lbs 8.7 ozs). A few Urelite Vipers were made for Glen Campbell and were called "Bluebird's". Some extra bodies were made at the same time, even some non-Bluebird guitars. This is one of the extra bodies, done in a beautiful gloss black finish.. The lighter spots on the pictures are from some extra routing done in different parts of the cavity to make room for wiring and pickups and DO NOT extend past where a standard Viper or Viper III pickguard would still cover them without interference.

This body is made of the same material and same method as the UKII body. An aluminum frame surrounded by a lightweight urethane foam called Urelite. NOT WOOD.

This prized guitar is from my own personal collection!

I have owned this wonderful guitar since the mid 1970s (1976). I got it when it was just a couple years old. It has lastly been in storage in a climate controlled storage area for over 15 years. It was packed with the two 9 volt batteries removed and in tune with (then) new strings. After 15 years, it was still in tune (well, very, very close!) put new batteries in and it sounded great! In cherry condition, was only used in practice sessions.
Body is black textured finish in great condition all the way.

All electricals work great!

Neck great and straight! Smooth action.

This one has serial number E 2466, so likely made in late 1973.
Case is original and in super condition inside very good condition on outside. (it didn't travel except for one trip from Ohio when I moved to Las Vegas)
Great collectable Ovation solid body!

In great condition!

Late 70's beauty! Very rare, EXCELLENT CONDITION!

Up for auction is a very rare Ovation Preacher Deluxe 12 string electric solid body guitar in excellent condition. I am the second owner of this rare gem. This guitar has been cared for and it shows. Very little wear. Everything functions correctly and electronics are quiet. Great sounding 12 string!

These are getting harder to find especially in this condition. The serial number dates this guitar back to the late 70's and she was made in the USA!

Comes with a hard shell case. Not sure if the case is the original. It is in excellent condition.

One small issue, one of the screws that holds the battery cover plate does not tighten. This has no effect on the playability or functionality of the guitar.
