Hello, Ovation Friends!!

I just ordered and received a 1974 Ovation 1114. It's missing the tail strap button. After doing some research I have discovered that the strap button screws are different. I would like to locate a strap button (black) and screw for the end! Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

When looking at the bottom of your guitar, were the End strap button would go...
Do you still have the "mollie" stuck in the bowl?
If so, that takes a Fine Thread machine screw.
I don't know the "pitch" and such....
But if you take your guitar down to a REAL hardware store, they should be able to help.

Also, I see that you have been lurking for two years....
I have upgraded you to a "member" so you can use the pool and sauna now.

Post this in the General Posting section for more responses.
Only a very few people can respond in the Welcome Center.

So... Welcome.

The "mollie" is still there. I have looked the internet over and I can't find anything specific for the Ovation.
Thanks for the advise. I'll go shopping tomorrow.

Ok, I'm kinda new to this stuff and obviously a little ignorant. I fell in love with Ovations in the early 70's, but being right out of high school i couldn't afford one. I was working a a music store that sold them. All I could do was look and maybe play as few simple chords. After retirement a few years ago i decided to start playing guitar and really be serious about it. Anyway, long story short, I now have 7 Ovations and love every one.

That being said, my latest acquisition is a 1974 1114-4. I've dated it with the "Chart" and labeled it as a Folklore.

My question is, is a 1974 Folklore and a Josh White the same?

A Josh White sez Josh White on the Headstock.
If it don't say Josh White, it is a Folklore.
