Location: boulder | Hey now,
I was wondering if anyone knew what the bird inlays were on the #47 reissue? I mean what type of birds? And what is that on the 12th fret, I like it, just not sure if it is still a bird or two or have I been looking to long.
And the big question...what does it say on the 16th fret. It sort of looks like,... well It ain't llama.
(lost art vintage has a great large photo to look at)
Thanks mike |

Location: NJ | If you look in my gallery at the pics of my SlotHead, y'MIGHT be able to make it out . .
It DOES say "Ovation" at the 16th.
I really wouldn't call the other markers "birds" . .
It's more like a woodcarvers adornment, more "floral" than "avian".
If the Gallery pics aren't clear, I'll try t'find a better pic . . . |
