Location: Blue Ridge Mountains | Paul, I'll take a set as well for my reissue.
I hink the 08 will be better with a walnut set that you have now (or will have soon).
Also:
The reissues are wonderful guitars in every way. But the originals have more soul. You choose.
Mojo is not available as a reissue: it must be experienced! |

I'll just need t'compare the drawing up against my guitar to check the sizing.
It's a 2ndGeneration copy of a C-sized drawing, and I just wanna ensure it's accuracy. |

Location: 6 String Ranch | I'm good for a few as well. Those tuners were only used on that one guitar and they were cast epoxy. Get the drawings and tweek as necessary. They'd be nice in walnut!
Original vs Reissue. Usually the reissue doesn't come close enough and gives them all a bad rep. Like the VW Beetle.
In this case it's a bit like the two Doobie Brothers Bands, The originals are so cool because of what they are but they do have warts, and not all the same warts. These reissues are faithful to the original design and concept but are qualitywise much better guitars. Except for the one with the Witco lable, and that one didn't even get cashews!
I've heard similar things about the Cobras. The original cars were the spoo, but the redos are smoother and better to drive. SOooo you just got to make your choice. |

Location: Boise, Idaho | Much as I like to compare cars and guitars, it just can't be done with reissues. Faithful reissues of cars wouldn't pass as driveable today. Sometimes the memories are just better than the reality. I had a Porsche that I thought was the greatest and regretted selling it. Then when I drove the same model years later, I couldn't believe how primitive it was. Old guitars are more primitive than the new ones, but the difference isn't so dramatic. |

Location: Paris/France | I get my set of walnut buttons today and they look great !!!
I'm now waiting for my next Ovation to put them on it... ;)
I'll also be glad to have a set of carved buttons for the Proto #11.
I already have changed the original chrome tuners with a gold set especially made for me by the Schaller factory.
These carved buttons would be a great addition to the proto.
Thanks Paul.
J :)

If anyone is moving from the original mini buttons to the larger sized buttons , as I am doing, you will need longer screws to seat the buttons. |
