Dear All,

I have a C2079LX Custom Legend Contour that comes with the OP-Pro Studio preamp. I'm very interested in trying out the VIP-5 to add some sound varieties to my home-recordings. Wonder if it is available to purchase separately... If so, any idea how much it will cost & how I could order it?

Thanks.

Regards, Andy

You would have to make sure you got one with the correct "images" for the Elite.

Hi All,

Just searched through the old posts in 2006 & it was mentioned Ovation didn't offer the VIP-5 as an aftermarket product. Wonder if they have change their mind yet? Also, wonder if the VIP does work with my Customer Legend Contour....

Regards, Andy

That's because they don't have images for every guitar that people would try to put them in. I'd bet the one from the 2007 collector's would work fine.

You can get a VIP from the factory, but it cost about $500.00. I wouldn't think it would be worth it.

That would be through the service dept which means you already have a guitar. They don't sell these as stand alone units I don't believe.

Thanks for the replies & advises. Yep, $500 doesn't seem to be a wise choice...
