Location: Venice, Flo | If you get one of the "big bowl" versions, not only will you get a lot of volume, but because of the larger bowl when sitting down it is easier to face the guitar more towards you. Just a thought. I have a 1987-4, #78 of 1000 produced. Collector's Series. Although the Ovation factory dosn't seem to know about this version. They only inidate a 1987-5 and a 1987-7. My guitar looks exactly like the one picutred for the 1987 Collector's Series. :) |

Location: Boise, Idaho | I'd be suspicious of all the encouragement coming from a guy who finds rare O's in his basement, Bill. I guess it's too late now. The silence may not be a good sign. I think I would have just put ceramic tile in my guitar room. |

No news is . . . . no news.
I've got a big spade bit that's just itching to cut a hole in my 1619.
So, did it work? |

Location: Warren,Pa. | Well....I think so. The hole has been there for a while now, but I haven't had much time to sit and REALLY pay attention to the sound. I took it camping with about 20 teens this past week (I know...I AM insane!). Playing around the campfire isn't the best situation in which to judge such things. I guess so far I can say there's an improvement, but I don't think it's enough to warrant doing it to YOUR guitars. I'm not done with this experiment yet. The hole is still smaller than the airlock I want to use, so I will be enlarging it a little. Sure wish I knew how to post pics. Maybe Lisa can help with that...she's 17 and knows much more about that stuff than I do. |

It should work fine, just do it.
It voids the warrentee, but who cares. Did anyone else notice that cwk was encouraging him but didn't mention the warranty thing until AFTER it was done? :D |
