Here is one that stretched my learning curve and increased my tool count! Flamy Spalted Maple for the top, Sitka Spruce for the back, Mahogany steam bent sides and a Mahogany Viper Neck. I obtained a VXT circuit board from Mr. Budny and mated it to some hot Artec Humbuckers. I believe I used Walnut up the middle to stiffen the body and acoustic guitar kerfing to connect the top and back. It has a much fuller Acoustic sound than a standard VXT and the HBs are close* to the Viper growl. Hell, it's just fun to look at... Not perfect, if I had made a second one that would be perfect. While I attempted to copy the Deacon shape my steam bending skills where insufficient and it is a "skosh" too big to fit in a standard case, hence the custom case. Recessed Straploc receivers keep the profile low and require the Straploc pins on your strap. Asking $600 to include shipping to most reasonable destinations. http://www.ovationfanclub.com/megabbs/photos/photo-thumbnails.asp?albumid=1204&useralbum=2043 Here's your chance to not play the same damn thing everyone else is playing!
