I can sell for £100 but prefer to identify it first. Admin. - If this is in the wrong section - apologies & please relocate to suit. thanks | ||

All you really need to see is the bridge pins to know that it ain't an Ovation. I think that I have seen that kind of bridge before... Okay! I went looking for a fake Ovation with that type of bridge. It is down-right scary how many different fake Ovations there are if you really go looking for 'em! There are companies out there that will copy just about anything for you. There new phony Ovations for 149 pounds UK. I did find This! It might be related to the one you have... And Welcome Axzed! :cool: | ||

Joined: April 2009 Posts: 7 | Hi, Thanks all. Still,it does sport Grovers!? Then again,only an internal label, no logo. Here are a couple of better pics to peruse. I have a friend wanting me to supply a guitar to someone for £100 & I really don't need this, but also don't want to under sell an Ovation. rgds http://s593.photobucket.com/albums/tt11/ovationgtr/ | ||
