Location: Phoenix AZ | INLAID. The zig-zag rosette was cracked and buckled and could not be saved. They dug it out and inlayed a floral rosette and then finished it flush, similar to your DB. Very nice job. |

Location: SoCal | It's good so far, but the rosette is coming up a little. Low humidity here should keep it from becoming a problem for a while, but it's nice to know that Ovation can jury rig a solution. |

Location: Midland, MI | I'll give you a Microsoft Sidewinder Precision 2 joystick (non forcefeedback), about a 1/3 cup of dry roasted peanuts, "Feedback" the Bendo rockstar and half a bottle of Labatt's Blue.
If you push me, I might throw in a couple of Dunlop jazz picks. But, that's the best I can do.
;)
Seriously, nice guitar, good luck! |

I meant to tell you how great the Ovation Looks.
I've never played a shiney bowl. You give great descriptions and the photos are outstanding. If i had the cash-flow i'd have struck a deal with you.
good luck with the sale. |
