Brian has this guitar for a long time, it has some finish-cracks as you can see in the vid. I love most this performance of him and this guitar: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=izSpY5RehBY&feature=fvst The guitar is sounding incredible in this vid, doesn't it? Bernie Nick B.

They did, they did, rock us! cuthbert Posted 2012-03-06 2:34 PM (#451513 - in reply to #451487) Subject: Re: '39 on Pacemaker Joined: April 2004 Posts: 103 Location: Verona,Italy Yes, Brian is great and his Pacemaker was the reason why I chose as first guitar a 12 strings Ovation, in my case a Custom Legend...I love to play '39 and Love of my life with my O. Burg, I think the cracks are THROUGH the top which looks a little sank as well, probably that's the reason why it was retired after 30 years of honourable service and replaced by a Guild 412...
