Just got the 1681 back home from the makeover at the mothership, and all I can say is WOW! :D They put a N.O.S. neck on it (original type) re-sprayed the bowl, and put everything else back to new condition for , what I thought, was a VERY reasonable price. What a beautiful instrument, and it plays better than any I have tried. I can't say enough about the customer service from Ovation, and the workmanship on these refurbs is outstanding! Anyone thinking about getting work done on an Adamas or Ovation is foolish to go elsewhere.

VERY NICE!

You know, the factory does such a nice job on these repairs that sometimes I'm tempted to bust up a perfectly good guitar just so I can have the thrill of sending it back and witnessing their magic.
