| Hello. My name is Dave Makowski and I own a 1983 Collectors Series 1983-B Serial Number : 2310. I bought my Ovation back on June 29, 1987 at Sam's Pawnbrokers, Inc. in Washington, D.C.. I have been playing it ever since. mine is 100% original and in "excellent" condition. I did have the battery relocated by my Luthier from the factory battery box to a Vlcro battery pouch which is positioned to the top left of the sound hole making battery changes extremely easy and simple. I really didn't want to modify my Ovation however I am a player and not a collector so I made sure this mod would be reversible. I have the battery compartment safely stored in the guitar case. He super glued the battery compartment screw in place so there wouldn't be a hole in the guitar. In retrospect I should have asked hi to leave the battery compartment in the guitar but it's fine the way it is and believe me changing the battery is way way easier. I absolutely love the look, fell, the way it plays, and the amplified tone a whole lot. I am currently running it through my Marshall AS50D Acoustic Amplifier and it sounds great. Has anyone else relocated their battery? |
