Location: SoCal | I'm in Kansas City visiting some friends and playing guitar. One of them has an early 80's 1624, a Country Artist w/ a molded bowl and stacked volume tone control. It doesn't look like it has a K-bar in the neck (no bolts holding the neck on, a truss rod cover with adjustment under it) but it's got the heaviest neck on an Ovation nylon string that I've ever run across.
Anybody have any thoughts? |

Location: Scotland | As far as I recall none of the nylon strings ever had a K-bar, they were all regular neck rods with headstock access. Wood varies in weight, maybe the neck is particularly dense mahogany. |

Location: NW Washington State | I have a similar 1624 with trussrod and stacked controls. It seems neck-heavy to me- I find it hard to hold in a classical playing position without a strap. My cheap Yamaha is more balanced.
I've had Ovation solidbodies for years, but the 1624 is my first acoustic. Since I have no experience with other Ovation acoustics, I just assumed they all had solid, heavy necks.
