Location: closely held secret | I'm trying to figure out why someone would do this.
Do Ovation tops ever collapse? Why would they want to stop the top from vibrating? |

Probably needs a little brace repair. |

Location: closely held secret | Well, I looked the other way and someone got it for $127. I would have liked to know what was up with it. Not if I have to pay to find out, tho... |

Location: toneville USA | actually, it is to compensate for the lack of arch in the Ovation case while shupping. a case with no arch? it doesn't protect the top. so the pictured custom insert is to be used only for shipping purposes... |
