Here’s a beautiful slice of Ovation history — the 1981 Ovation 1618 Glen Campbell Signature 12-String Electro Acoustic. Built during the golden years of Ovation’s USA production, this model combines their iconic rounded Lyrachord back with a spruce top, delivering shimmering 12-string tones that cut through with clarity and balance.
The Glen Campbell Signature model was designed to offer stage-ready reliability with an onboard pickup system, making it just as comfortable in a live mix as it is in the studio. It’s a stunningly playable instrument, with Ovation’s slim neck profile making it one of the most approachable 12-strings out there.
Complete with its original hardcase, this is a true player’s guitar with plenty of mojo and collectability.

Good condition overall, especially for its age. There are general signs of play and age-related wear, including one notable lacquer check on the neck (purely cosmetic, not structural). No cracks or breaks, no repairs, and everything functions as it should. Plays beautifully, with all the sparkle you’d expect from a vintage Ovation 12-string.
