Location: UK		It all started with a battered white Breadwinner body........
Finally got the beast finished, just awaiting a TRC and need to fit the nut before stringing.
All Ovation bodywork, bridge and tuners with Gibson pups and electrics.
Hope she sounds as good as she looks.
Not totally convinced by the Gibson knobs.....

Yep, think the knobs must go.

Location: Florida Central Gulf Coast		When I first saw a BW years ago I didn't care for the design at all. But now I think my heart may be shaped like one! :D

Nice job!

They are original Gibsons but I thought perhaps a little large.
I do have some black top hats which I may try - no smaller but may "look" smaller.
