As far as the body shape, yes I did notice. Which led me to believe that that body shape was the original intent ...
more of an elongated Breadwinner body. Personally, I prefer that shape. Somehow seems more "Ovation" for that time. |

Another thing, notice the Schaller machine heads are not logo'd. Same as the x050

Location: Maine | I'm curious to see if the thumb rest and tailpiece on X050 are billet machined too
Recall , it was the one used in the promo ad (nearly certain anyway)

I hate to place it on EBay.
It seems to be historically important; I would consider it a verified prototype at this point......
