I bought this from a shop a while back.
There was a label below the soundhole but only unidentifiable glue & shreds remain!

It has Grover machine heads.

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

Hi, Thanks.
Is your knowledge so comprehensive that I have to now acknowledge it is NOT an Ovation?

Is there any markingon on the headstock?

Don't know much... Good copy of the headstock. (not really)
The real sleazy companies don't put a name on them.

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:

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.

It's most definitely not an Ovation.

Damn! - I hope the strings are real, I hear some nylon strings are fakes made from dead cats.
To think I actually felt guilty paying for it with counterfeit dosh
