Just noticed this on Ebay, I don't usually post ebay auctions, but this is a nice guitar with what looks to me like a serious problem with the back of the neck at the nut and the seller does not mention it? I would guess it is not a scam, I will suppose it is just a mistake but worth a mention.
Is this guitar one of our members?? If so please don't forget to mention the headstock/neck damage and how extensive it may be. It is a dam shame too it will ruin the value of this great guitar.

"what looks to me like a serious problem with the back of the neck"

And looks to me like an easy fix for someone who knows what they are doing as it does NOT appear to be structural, just finish checking. Granted as a result from stress on the headstock, maybe banged at one time, but it's an Ovation, built pretty tough. The darkness in some of the cracks (to me) indicates it's been that way for some time, again a guess without seeing it in person.

I'm going to close this public service announcement because it serves no purpose. If you are interested in the guitar, I'd advise you to contact the seller. If you are selling the guitar.... nice pictures, nice guitar.
