| I just spoke with an Ovation Repair Tech and he mentioned that Ovation has been bought out numerous times over the years. Are they still USA made guitars? Mine was built in New Hampshire, CT, by the Kaman Music Company. |

Location: Hot Springs, S.D. | Um, that's New HARTFORD, Ct. And no, there are no more Ovations being built in the USA. They were not "bought out" until Fender bought them a few years ago. Since then they have completely closed USA Ovation. They are still making the cheaper models overseas, but they are not as well built. The materials and workmanship are all inferior to what used to be made in New Hartford and in Moosup, Ct. |

| You're right. It is New HARTFORD, CT. When you get to be 61, you look at something and see something completely different. New Hampshire is a state I think. Thanks for the info. |
