FS: Ovation Collectors edition. Fender Highway One Stratocaster (will add more soon)

finest1

I’m selling my Ovations Collectors world 98.

I’ve had lots of time, nearly a year, to coming to terms with letting it go. Its had very little use since I bought it. I’ve had it for about 8 years.

The collector’s edition is a limited run of guitars Ovation produce each year, in this case it’s a 1998 edition.  The finish is Bound Flamed Maple top with 'Cherry New England Burst' finish with a special design at the 12th fret

Guitar is in absolute great condition.  The neck is straight. Low action. No buzzing or rattling when played.

I can’t see any scratches or damage on the body or bowl

All electrics work (battery not included)

I’d advise checking out the information on the internet, so you can find out more about the guitars

Comes with soft gig bag

£1000 (sensible offers considered)

Fender Highway One 2006 model

This is another one that I had to come to terms to sell. It was my first USA guitar I finally bought. The problem is I couldn’t bond with it! I’ve had it around 14 years, and it just stayed in its case as I started collecting more guitars. I do every now and then take it out for a play, but just can’t get on with it. I thought it was me so I kept hold of it.  I do have other strats which I prefer to play.  However, I have decided that this one can go to someone that will play it.

Condition: absolutely no issues with the electrics or playing condition. Action is low, no buzzing or rattling. Still has the plastic at the trem cover! Pickguard is starting to go off white. The body is smooth, and has a satin finish. Under close inspection I managed to find a rub mark and the smallest of dings that the camera couldn’t pick up. Neck is silky smooth.   I would call this a case queen! Comes with original Fender soft case for this particular model.  You would not believe this is a “used” guitar!
