I'm trying to figure out why someone would do this.
Do Ovation tops ever collapse? Why would they want to stop the top from vibrating?

I bet that works better than the airDams at preventing feedback!

Probably needs a little brace repair.

Don't you think that was just for storage/shipping? Makes no sense otherwise/at all.

That's the new "bowl stretcher". Same concept as a shoe stretcher(shoe tree) that keeps your shoes from wrinkling and curling up at the toes. The Bowl Stretched (tm) keeps your bowl smooth and your top flat.

Maybe it's the prototype to Ovations new "adjustable bowl" feature. A turn of the turn-buckle and whoop-t-doo..ya go from a mid bowl to a deep bowl.

I think it's an arch-top conversion in progress.

Guess they don't know that's how an acoustic makes it's tone. :rolleyes:

"Just out of pawn", would have scared me off. :eek:

Well, I looked the other way and someone got it for $127. I would have liked to know what was up with it. Not if I have to pay to find out, tho...

actually, it is to compensate for the lack of arch in the Ovation case while shupping. a case with no arch? it doesn't protect the top. so the pictured custom insert is to be used only for shipping purposes...

Hal, honestly, I'm not questioning your veracity, but how do you know that?
