It's easy. You pick out an image from your list of images. You click on it. You click on something else. Pretty soon you have the wrong pics posted because you clicked on the wrong image number. Image.00057.jpg looks an awful lot like Image.00058.jpg. It takes me about 2 seconds to forget the image number I was just looking at.

Seller states "I had a totally new neck built for it that will fit your hand better". Wrong pics and statement? I will e-mail the seller for the facts.

Sorry.. also states "It still uses the standard Ovation Fretboard". Guess that was why I asked why?! Reread and it is a Custom 2000 not Collector 2000!

with a starting bid of 50 bucks, it makes a good beater guitar [with the on board electronics as an added bonus] -- just IMO. :rolleyes:

I bet he dropped it and broke the headstock. I can't see changing the neck on a Celebrity otherwise.

Whenever I see weird stuff like that, I notice that there is never a photo of the whole guitar...
Conspiracy?

He got the pictures right, but they aren't really good ones. A good one of that headstock would just be a clearer picture of an ugly subject.

The bridge doesn't look like a USA model.

I asked the seller if the picture was accurate. His response.. "The entire neck has been replaced. It was cut from a huge block of wood. Picture is accurate."

Accurately what?
Wow. One of you guys should pick it up. The wood on the body is beautiful. A new neck and headstock would "fix" it. I can't afford to save it, but if I could, I would.
Get that poor guitar away from that butcher.
