First off, I've learned from this group that the 2 branded neck means it's a second. No biggie in playing pleasure but takes it's value down, just like the post-factory modifications made to mine.
Just from the lack of thumb wear marks on the back of the neck I'd say this guitar crys out to be played a whole lot more. |

I still wonder if an "Ovation" factory 2nd actually has any affect on the value. It might, I just don't know. |

Not criticism, just a friendly word. Of course you're free to post any way you like within the Board rules... |

But as long as you're not paying any attention to what you write, I'd presume it's good enough for everyone else to behave in a similar fashion. |

There are folks who are always shopping for guitars, they spend more time over in the "For Sale" section. This is a bunch of cut-ups and self-defined funny people chatting and kibbitzing. |
