granted it's really not the same guitar with a top/bowl replacement... but it really does sound excellent and is starting to open up nicely and the people at Ovation Really do a GREAT job at making them as-new again.
and the neck re-set on the 85-x is dead-on...
ps thanks for the carved trc!
Thanks to John, Kim, Darren, and everyone else who has helped bring these back for me.
looking forward to the shiny 12 with the fd14 elx under the hood.

| fender's new marketing strategy?.. j/k
it's not a viper tho.. shallow bowl custom classical elite... supposedly built for Larry Gatlin in 85
Kim says there may still be 3 more like it out there somewhere.. he has a natural one.

If I could find a deep body like that I'd have to 'shed' a couple+ of my 'herd'. |
