Thanks to all,

it is in bad condition. I have to repair a lot.
When I've finished, I'll post some pics of it.

Gratulations Bernie, hope you´ll get the strings down to a good position, but you will certainly have had a look at that since you picked it up personally.

Have a lot of fun with it...

Chris.

Hi,

thanks again to all.
I've worked nearly 2 nights on it and now I'm ready.
The break in the top is repaired and the neck is straight again- the playability is perfect very low action and it sounds great. It looks nearly as new. I'm very happy with it. I've postet some pics of it on my ning site. http://ovationfanclub.ning.com/profile/BernhardBurg

WOW!! :eek: That has been one of my favorites to look at along with the 5868 and the 2001 Collector.

I hope it sounds as good as it looks. Congratulations and enjoy it!!

Hi Iffi,

the break was at the upper edge nerly where the preamp ends. The top and the binding had been open for about 5-6 inch.

Thanks Todd, I've strung it with Martin SP X-light strings (.010-.047). It sounds very loud and clear, with alot of brilliance, not as warm as a centrehole with spruce top (my 1615) but much better than my CC65. The action and playability is perfect.

Bernie
