We're keeping this thread alive 'till Master Templeman chimes in with your solution!

Location: Shotley Bridge, Northern England | TLG, as a fellow UKer, I would second both suggestions given here; to contact Paul Templeman and to consider shipping a guitar from the USA. If Paul doesn't chime into this thread I have his phone number; just drop me a PM and I'll forward it to you.
I would share your view about the scarcity of USA made Ovations over here. I've used eBay successfully to obtain mine. I have an 84 Collectors; if you are in the North East you are most welcome to call in and try it out. I promise; if you try it, you will HAVE to get one! Shipping for mine was $100 from NJ, and duties were a modest £26 in total (I think I got lucky there).
Oh, and its Capo, to rhyme with tomARTo...

I also suggest that you wait for Paul Templeman to provide some guidance. The starting point will be the UK Ovation distributor's web site, which is www.jhs.co.uk
This only covers standard items and ordering a "special in the UK" would take time. Your best bet would be to order from Al in the USA. From all the reports I have read, he provides a fantastic service.
You should also buy "Guitarist" magazine, who have a number of adverts in from local Ovation agents.

| If you buy it from al, pay the shipping/insurance/import duty and VAT, you'll still be quids better off than buying one from a UK dealer.
Shallow bowls are the most underrated Os - they have a fantastic sound all of their own and they have a way superior string balance 1 to 6 compared to ANY gitar I ever listened to or played. They are remarkable instruments. And plugged in they are the bee's knees and the dog's doodahs rolled into one. |
