Location: Florence,SC | Thanks Talbot, that explains a lot.
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. |

Location: Maine | I totally agree. More Breadwinner / Deacon-isque as you mention
Another thing, notice the Schaller machine heads are not logo'd. Same as the x050

Location: Florence,SC | Did not pick up on the missing logo! Probably those tuners were already available in the marketplace and Ovation liked them ... and then ordered the same ones with a logo for the production runs. Just guessing of course.

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......

Location: The Great Pacific Northwest | This would be an AWESOME piece to have. I have the final prototype Breadwinner which I think I will be buried with but that aside, if I had any disposable or other kind of income I would be all over this in a heatbeat... or less... |
