Location: Lion hearts country, down by the sea. Bournemouth | Hi Guys,
I am looking to move on from my applause and would like to keep with Ovation, however I would like a model witha wider nut.

Location: Boise, Idaho | Assuming you want to stay with steel strings, the Folklore is the standard model with a wider nut. It was previously called the Josh White and you might find a fairly recent Josh White reissue out there. |

Location: Lion hearts country, down by the sea. Bournemouth | Thanks for the reply, yes I would like to stay with steel strings.
So the Folklore is a blast from the past. Is there anything on Ovations current line up that would be easyer to track down??
Or do Iputa wanted add out!?

Location: Vancouver Island, BC | The early Folklore has a 1-7/8" nut width. I believe they took us into the '80s. Later models are 1-3/4" at the nut. That is about the same as playing two frets up (capo) on a standard 1-11/16" neck.
Good luck with the search. |

That is about the same as playing two frets up (capo) on a standard 1-11/16" neck. Good luck with the search. I'm pretty sure the wider nut went through the 90's too. I think it's only the newer LX models that have the 1 3/4. |
