I was so impressed by the cream-white Legend that I saw on this site but I´m a 12string player. Believe it or not, just acouple of days later there was a white 12string elite on ebay, not a real bargain but a reasonable price.
I had to do a lot of cleaning, make a neck-reset and some adjustments and now the guitar is in very good shape again, straight neck, ultra-low action and this irresistible Elite sound. I put some cream-white knobs on the tuning machines, what do you think?

Yes, a 1758. Built on a Monday morning. I found curiously drilled holes for the neck bolts (under a piece of tape) so that the lower screw even was about to work loose. I filled the hole with strong epoxy.

The brass trussrod screw was mounted so tight under the top that it caused a crack at that point and I had to file it cone-shaped, because I had to correct the wrong neck angle a wee bit so that the strings have now normal pressure on the pickup again (3 Ovation shims).

The last owner did obviously not play the guitar for a longer time, and thus all the freat did show green corrosion, but that was only superficial, not structural. But after all the ordeal the guitar turned out to be a REALLY great sounding and (now) easy playing guitar, string action E11th 2,25mm, neck relief ca. 0.8 mm.
