We heard about the factory cutting off the bowl and top and putting a new one on does anyone else here fix them at all and how much would it cost?
I really want to try to match the old top and all it will also need a new bridge and pickup if we can let me know this guitar has a ton of sentimental value and it gave birth to a lot of hit songs!!!!

I'm going to guess it was used to write that ever popular tune:

A white spruce top on an old Ovation...
:D

Just kidding...the factory is probably your best bet for the repair, as you'll know it's done right. Give them a call, they're quite friendly.

And like SB said...do tell!

Factory.

They do the highest quality work at very reasonable cost.

Funny, I had a white top balladeer once. Sold it to a guy and he got mad at me a couple years later 'cos it pulled the top right off!

Are we talking about Monday morning guitars?
:rolleyes:
