Location: illinois | I bought my Balladeer used back in 1992, the neck is made out of some weird, funky material. It's definitely not wood, I believe I read somewhere that is has a steel "T" shaped rod running through it with a foam core neck around it. Anyways the guitar has always played great, but the other day it was knocked off its stand by my cat, and where the neck hit the corner of my stereo speaker it punched a small hole through the outer covering. It doesn't seem to be effecting the guitar, but the spot itself is kind of rough,and when I'm playing I can feel it. Anybody have any ideas on how to fix this. I'd really appreciate the input! |

Your local Humane Society will be able to recommend a good vet. They usually tend to get more mellow after being fixed and tend to not knock over as much stuff running around.
Oh.. you meant the fix the guitar...
Someone may have a quick fix answer, but I would take it to a local Ovation factory authorized repair shop. It is 10 years old which is just a baby, but could probably use a quick check-up if it took a blow that hard. Just to make sure nothing else was knocked out or loosened. |
