Joined: January 2014 Posts: 402 Location: Taxed To Death State | Just got back from dropping off my guitar for a little fret work at the new improved KMC repair center. JB let me take a few photos and wanted to let you all know they are open and servicing our beloved O's. It's quite impressive how much stuff they still have there. They are pretty much fully operational and working away on repairs. It's JB, Sherwood & Mike doing the top notch work as before. It's a real nice setup and even has A/C ! The phone number is still the same as well. 860-379-7575.

I'm glad to have Johnny B back online and will not hesitate to send in some work. In fact, I'll be more likley to send in some work. Because .... you don't know what you've got till it's gone. | ||

Joined: August 2003 Posts: 396 | This is, indeed, great news. I wonder who owns this service operation? Does Fender have anything to do with this? If so, I'll stop badmouthing them for a few seconds. Although I own no foreign made Ovations, my 2 are American made, I wonder if it would make business sense for them to do non-warranty repair work, or if they could get listed as a warranty service center, on foreign made ones. Thus, that could get them more business and keep them going. | ||
