Location: Normal, Illinois | Relatively new hobbyist seeks a deep bowl, non-cutaway Balladeer/Legend project guitar (electronics not important). Truth is, I seek something that: if it turns out well I would rather have than my CS-2000; and if it doesn’t I could move out for the experience.
Price is always an object, but I understand that we all get what we pay for-and vice versa. I’m new to the forum, so any constructive anything would be appreciated. |

Location: Boise, Idaho | Welcome, Allen. Check some of the posts by MWoody, seesquare and others who do nice restoration work. I think if you developed an expertise at repairing finish cracks in old Ovations you would become very popular. |

Location: Gardnerville, NV | If you'd like to try Mark's suggestion I have the perfect candidate. It's a mid seventies 1112, sunburst finish, perfect condition with the exception of a couple surface cracks. If you're interested or would like to see pictures let me know. |

Location: Pacific Northwest Inland Empire | Allen, how much work do you want to do? The BottomFeeders Luthiery Guild AKA League of Gentlemen, is always looking to swell our ranks!
I have a couple of bowls, necks & bridges available, if you want to make the tops.
Consult with my learned colleague MWoody, on crack repairs. Also, solid-body restorations. I do acoustics, primarily. |

Location: Upper Left USA | Got Folklore 1114-4?
I also have a deep, full fiberglass bowl and a couple of necks. That and a couple of Sitka Spruce or WRC boards.
Some assembly required.
I'd start with the Folklore.
Email me your financial and tooling limits and we will find something!
Welcome. |

Location: Pacific Northwest Inland Empire | My current inventory includes an old Matrix deep-bowl & neck, a supershallow bowl, sans hatchcover, & the oddball, acoustic, bolt-on, K-bar maple neck. I believe the neck photos are in my BFLG gallery. |
