Location: Sydney, Australia | The old ones had truss rod covers (up til around 1979/80 or so, someone more knowledgeable than me will know the year), then they switched to the Kaman bar. After a while (early-mid 2000s?) they ditched the Kaman bar on the US models and reintroduced the truss rod covers when they introduced the most modern truss rods (LX models). Asian made Ovations never moved to the LX system, so presumably still use the older Kaman bar without the truss rod cover). |
