Location: overseas | Hi- I have a model 1627 shallowbowl and I was wondering what the largest guage strings are recommended for this guitar (without risking damage!). Thanks for your help!

Location: Central Oregon | Welcome to the OFC John. I'm not really qualified to say for sure, but I don't think *anyone* makes a stronger guitar than Ovation, so my educated guess is your 1627 can take the stoutest strings you can find on the rack. I think you should wait until you hear from somebody that actually knows for sure before you twist on the new cables though :)

Come to think of it, shouldn't a 16XX be a deep bowl? Is it a Celebrity? |
