By glueing or epoxying the necks on the Off Shore Acoustic you are predetermining that they are Disposable and not repairable.
You had the tooling process in New Hartford and could easily add value to the Ovation line.
so fix it... please! |

But you do realize that Fender wants to SELL more guitars, right?
If you can reset the neck, an Ovation could last for Decades! :eek: |

You've been able to buy affordable Asian-manufactured Ovations for many, many years. Moving all of the Ovation production out of the US provides very little improved value to the musician. The only improvement in those guitars is the amount of profit to be made by the confusion generated by claims that they are "identical" to the US-made ones. Using the same model names and similar model numbers as the US versions certainly implies that they are the same, yet they are, arguably, now more closely-related to the Celebrities than to the previous versions that were made in the US. |
