Look under vintage.
Three plank top,chain and grape inlay.
Someone loved to play guitar,and loved to tinker with things.
This has got to be a guitar that can tell a story.
Get to work all you Ovation researchers.
Lets start with the Serial #. |

Figuring the repairs would cost more than one of the re-issues, would it be worth fooling with? |

Location: nashville | I either like the near mint look or the slap wore out look, and this has that in spades., I would put back the orginal tuners and take what looks like sand paper off the bowl. I would have to hear it first, dont need a wore out looking guitar that sounds like crap. |

Location: Route 66, just east of the Cadillac Ranch | Given the overall condition of this guitar, which looks poor to me, I'm amazed at the condition of the decals on the headstock. Those that I have seen of this vintage are all but completely faded and these look very good. |

| James is right.I would put Klusons tuners back on,take the strings off,loosen the truss rod,wipe it down,remove all the tape,and hydrate the crap out of it for a month.
String it up and adjust.
Might be a gem. |
