OK... perhaps I can upload some better sized pics through Photobucket ...

...well so much for THAT idea... I'm just plain exausted today, and I should have known better than to try and do all this. Top that off with the fact that I have a scratch on my eyeball from the cornia all they way to the top of the socket (tree work a couple days ago)... I give up...good night.

Almost done...


That is most of them. I skipped one-or-two.
But contact Bvince about this fine opportunity.

The mothership refinished the top and replaced them in the process. The original treble side was worn on the pick side. They're simular, but they don't have the exact replacement ones anymore. It's been that way at the MS for quite some time now. It was the same situation when they did my 1537 top.

Oh, Bryan, that one is really missing in my collection, but wrong time for me, I'm a bit short on cash this moment.

Well Bernie, If I don't get any serious bites on it, I MAY have to send it over to Germany next month with my son as he transfers to Ramstein. I'm sure it would sell quick on the other side of the ocean (: ... By the way, it DOES look very nice hanging next to a 1537.

Ah, Ramstein Airbase! Well, Wiesbaden is only 10 miles away from me here, Ramstein is also not extremly far, I think 70 miles, nearly completely highway without limits, a bit more than half an hour from my home.
If you need any support, let me know.
But expensive Ovations don't sell very good, okay better as in the States and the strong Euro as well, Adamas are extremely rare here, they will sell really good here.

Hmm, very pretty.
I was looking close at the pics and I noticed a gap between the end of the fretboard and the top, like the end of the fretboard "floats" above the top.
Mine is like that and I thought it was something that would require a reset, now maybe I'm not so sure.
Are all the 87 C's like that?
Mine sounds great so it obviously doesn't affect it.
Not trying to usurp your post I'm just curious.
Good luck on the sale!
