I would contact the Mothership (Ovation).
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.

250 would be a steal for that neck.

My Bad! :mad: What he actually said was...
"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...

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

If I didn't already have one, that one on eBay is a pretty good buy.
