When they re-bowled my 1115 they informed me that a new neck was around $250.
That was last year.
And we Love pictures!
Plus it helps when asking advice.
Welcome. |

"if neck needs replacing it would run in the 450.00 range but can't be sure until we see it."
It was $250 for the neck reset, but that came free with the top/bowl replacement.
My mammary was alittle foggy, so I looked-up my old email. Sorry if I got someone's hopes up... |

Location: Warren,Pa. | I would get in touch with the service dept at Ovation. This is a pretty common repair for them...headstock breaks on Pacemakers.
They've done it a hundred times and can make it like new. Send Kim or John an email with a couple of close-up pics, then have some conversation about it.

| This is on e-bay, and by the sounds of it you dont need to replace the pre-amp, just the saddle pick-up, or swap it with the one you have already
