Hello! I bought an Ovation Celebrity about 10 years ago when I was a college student and had a friend who was giving me guitar lessons. After I left school I admit I barely touched my guitar, but not long ago I got it out to lend to a friend of mine who wanted to try learning to play--and we noticed that it seemed to be missing a piece. In the middle of the back there is a circular opening about 4-5 inches in diameter. I'm pretty sure there should be a piece that covers that opening. I know very little about the construction of guitars, so I'm really not sure what to do about this. Am I right in thinking there should be a covering there? And if so, is it something that can be replaced? How would I go about replacing it? Thanks for any help you can give.

Uh... Yup!


It should look like this.

To get another one you can contact the MotherShip (factory) or hope that someone here has one.

Okay, thanks. It's just so baffling...I can't imagine how I lost it to begin with. I hope they can replace it. I tried Googling to see if this has happened to anyone else, but I couldn't find anything.

Yep...they probably have some of them in the scrap pile of the repair shop.
