Wouldn't that be called a Clan?

Seesquare, you are right, that bridge does look askew. Fortunately, there is a fellow in this area that will work on Ovations.
I hope it does not go to $85, but who knows? |

Location: Boise, Idaho | Some of us look at this board far more than ebay. Some look at ebay for good deals all the time. Many board members find good deals on ebay and point them out to others on the board. Some buy off ebay and offer them to board members.
I've bought 8 or 9 Ovations in the last year, most of which were from board members or because of advice from board members. The only one I know who is disappointed with this board is my wife. |

In fact, adding Wabbit to just about any band name can only make it better. Gives it that touch of class the other parts of the act might be lacking in. :D |

Mike, maybe this'll jog your video memory:

1) 6778LX NEB for $600;
2) '79 Pacemaker for$300;

Location: New Hampsha | So, did one of the Clan win the double neck?
I see Mike musta been priced out of the running and he's currently trying to buy half of Deutschland...
I won the Applause with the broken bridge as my first foray into amateur luthiering. |

Location: New Hampsha | MW - I'm trying to guess your strategy. Take the cherry neck and mate it with the new unfinished body? Buying a bare bowl and remaking a top seems to be a long shot... And the shipping from the EU is fair but eats profits.
Crack open the "top Secret" folder and give us a peek! |

Location: Upper Left USA | What I know is that the bowl (not the Tuetonic Legend) is unbound and has double fan bracing. The Legend neck may or may not fit or be the right scale.
I am only playing, no serious concept yet.
But the idea of adapting a body to a custom scale neck and cutting in my own frets seems interesting!
Longneck? Mandocello? Ten string? We'll see!
Which Ovation has double Fan Bracing? |
