Traditional Ovation fan or LX bracing?
I just finished fishing around with my fingers as my little mirror is at work. It's A-braced. (My favorite. How did they know? )

I gotta play that thing someday. Or maybe not. Wouldn't want to grow dissatisfied with my Custom 1773LX...... |

Location: Steeler Nation, Hudson Valley Contingent | I asked this on the AGF as well.
"I've got to admit, the more I think about it, the more I think I'll need to reinforce the leading edge of the bridge to prevent grooving. (I don't like ball-end nylon strings because there is still a small part of me that stubbornly clings to tradition, and I never know when it will rear its withered little head.) I'm just not sure the best way to do it. Suggestions?" |

...if you define "better" as "winding the strings right."
See, it bugs me too. Just not enough to change out brand new strings. :p ;) |

Location: Michigan | You know this is just a fine example of what Ovation can produce. Wouldn't you like to see a one of these along with an Adamas or 2 in your local high end guitar store. I just got to believe they would sell... but then again I bought Compuware stock at $30. |

I just got to believe they would sell... but then again I bought Compuware stock at $30. My sentiments exactly...the guitar store most local to me is Daddy's Junky Music, and I have had conversations with them about why they have been going increasingly low-end. Invariably the answer is that the market's tough out there, they don't sell, etc. But they DO take them occasionally in trade, and I have seen guitars from $1,500 to $2,500 appear in there from trade-ins. THOSE guitars RARELY last there more than a week.
I have to believe that Patch's gorgeous custom job would be gone just as soon as the first shopper able to swing it and play it, saw it. |

I swiped the idea from the 2002 collectors which has a cool looking cherry TRC to match its top. John found precisely what I wanted. Truly, I couldn't be more pleased. |

It's an absolute beauty Patch. Kudos to you and the mothership. |

Location: Ontario Canada | Hello Patch,
A beautiful piece of craftsmanship you have, I wish you lived around the corner. I have a set of D'Addario J33 folk nylon ball ends. We could have a cuppa and talk arthritic knuckle talk.
Regards
