I am looking to buy a gold neck plate for a solid body Ovation (any Model) It's the one with the serial number on it.

The same guys that do bumpers may also do some custom work in various metals. I think the Gold Wing and Harley people are keeping their skills up. Should be able to turn a chrome set into a BLING-BLING set. Hope it works out. cliff Posted 2004-12-23 10:51 AM (#339417 - in reply to #339415) Subject: Re: WTB Gold Neck Plate Joined: March 2002 Posts: 14842 Location: NJ I was going to suggest the same thing . . . A custom bike shop might be able to do it (or send it out) for you. Or maybe even a high-end jeweler/antique shop . . .

I e-mailed Miles and he has a chrome one so that is always an option. But I am not sure if the neck plate and rear cover plate were gold plated....were they? I thought just the tuners were gold plated and the rest was just a gold colored material. can someone verify this. If all of the gold hardware was indeed gold plated then that's what I will do.
