Location: houston | I have a 1981 Ovation 1651 and the Top is cracking and coming off the guitar. Does anyone here do repair like this, maybe replacing the top? Thanks. |

Welcome to the OFC 'hive mind'!
Send that puppy back to the 'mothership' (aka Ovation) and let the magicians do their magic! |

Location: South of most, North of few | Welcome. The factory will do a better job than anyone and probably cheaper too. You probably won't have to have the top replaced, just repaired. |

| Ditto - Contact Kim Keller or John Budny at Ovation 800-552-4681. Many here have had work done at the factory and will attest to the outstanding work they do. And welcome! |

Location: houston | Wow, Im glad I joined! Im gonna get a case first, and send it to OVation. I have just found out this is the guitar they reissued as the John Lennon Ovation? Its the brown one with two outputs and gold plated tuners. My friend found it in a dumpster at the old folks home. |

Location: Just outside Dallas, TX | Go to any GC store and ask them to hold the shipping box from their next Ovation delivery... Then you can send it knowing it will survive the trip |

I need to free up some time to go dumpster diving apparently.
Don't forget to post pics (before and after) when it comes back from CT.
And WELCOME! |
