Location: Scotland | They're not common. That was the transition between the Matrix and the early USA-built Ultras. Ply top, aluminum/foam neck with a rosewood board. |

Location: Phoenix AZ | No, I was joking. I left Poughkeepsie in the summer of 1993 with one guitar to my name. Nothing left behind that I know of, but getting 'that knock on the door' isn't out of the question. |

Are you saying this Balladeer has a ply top and aluminum neck? I thought all US Ovations had solid tops.

Yes, The Matrix, Balladeer Special, Ultra and several Collectors Editions had laminated tops.
The Balladeer Special was basically an upgraded Matrix, which became the short-lived US-produced Ultra. They all had aluminum/foam necks with a refrettable rosewood fingerboard. |
