For your consideration, a 1972 Ovation Matrix Model 1737 that needs a little bit of love to be a fantastic instrument again. 

There is no adjustable truss rod on this model, so the neck has a slight bow in it. We have had it tuned to pitch for months and have taken measurements every few weeks and the neck is not actively bowing or getting worse, which is great. It can be playable as-is, or you can attempt to straighten it. A previous owner attempted to increase playability by adjusting the neck angle. They loosened the neck attachment bolts and added some wooden shims under the fingerboard extension at the body. It doesn't look great, but it is totally reversable. There is a section of trim missing at the bottom lip of the guitar. Otherwise, the guitar is stock and all intact. The original electronics do work. The guitar is playable in its current condition, but we feel it is worthy of a little bit of work to make it fully usable and great playing once again.
