Easter Bunny came by my house this week and delivered my first shiny bowl, a 1968 Deluxe Balladeer. I've had shallow, mid and deep bowl Ovations before, but this is the best sounding 6 string Ovation I've owned to date.

The inlaid rosette and the shiny bowl are just beautiful.

Location: SoCal		Looks like the bridge was replaced at one time. Looks to be walnut instead of rosewood. No big deal.....

Location: Chicago		Really nice. I think that this is exactly the guitar John McLaughlin plays on my favorite record, "My Goal's Beyond". I could never understand why he switched to nylon ten years later ("Friday Night in San Francisco" tour)

Bridge does seem to be somethng other that rosewood.  I'm not sure when it was replaced, but it's a great reproduction.

I may stain it to look more like rosewood...
