Greetings all!

Rick from Boston here. I have just purchased a stripped Ovation Breadwinner off of Reverb. It's a very early model with single coils, and the jack plate off the pick guard.

Besides being stripped of color, it has a broken midrange toggle switch and a chunk out of with of the headstock wings. I'm not sure if I'm going to get the headstock fixed. I'm thinking since the paint is gone, I may go a custom color and a bit of a relic job to give the chunk a reason why it's missing.. I've used a guy on Reverb who does A1 relic jobs.

Anyone know where I may purchase a two-way toggle and a logo label? One last question, any ideas what the cost would be to fix the headstock..?

Cheers!

Rick

Welcome Rick, You've come to the right place. Go ahead and start this thread again in the General Forum (I've upgraded you to full member) area and include some pictures. Are you interested in a replacement neck ? I have some. I believe I also have the switch, but I'll have to look for that later. So I assume the pre-amp is still working? Nice find in any case.
