What color is my Anniversary? According to Ovation, the -7 is the code for Antique Brown, but it doesnt look like it. This one looks red to me.

That's what mine looked like: reddish mahogany. I remember that Jerry Reed had an old Ovation classical with wood binding that was pretty much this color.

We never had this problem until they invented color photography.

When I was mixing acrylic paints to repair a finish crack on an Anniversary...brown, red, and a drop of yellow.

I would describe the finish on the Anniversary (and on a 1658 Custom Legend slothead 12-string that I have) as orange-brown.

A beautiful finish...on the 1658, only dark sunburst and natural were listed as available finishes...must have been a custom order.

By the way, easiest method (that I have found) is to mix the paints on the top next to the crack, then wipe off the excess. Seal with water soluable glue or CyA.
