Gents, and ladies,

About a year ago I purchased the Deluxe Legend 1658 which admittedly had been repaired a few years ago at the factory. It has two parallel cracks running south from the bridge, which had been repaired and the top refinished so that they were practically invisible. I have played the guitar for a year, tuned properly etc. and now the cracks have opened up and the sound has also now "gone south". This cherished instrument wants to be fixed and if I remember there are some former Ovation luthiers who are setting up a repair facility.

Can this be done? Any information would be sincerely appreciated!

Thanks,
Dubi

Yeah, Dubi, they're still in business. Someone can send you John Budny's email, so you can arrange the instrument repair process.
