Hello folks!
At 61 years young I am a new guitar player and have recently purchased an older Ovation 1224-4. How did I end up with an vintage Ovation you ask? Well when I was in grade school the music teacher had an Ovation guitar and I was amazed at the sound that came from it. I never forgot that. Now, I have my own, however, it was supposed to have nylon strings on it and when I got it was strung with metal and there are two cracks in the neck and parallel with it. Can one replace the neck? Should I take it to a pro and have them fix the cracks? Can they be fixed? It only cost me a hundred dollars Canadian so it is not a HUGE loss if it cannot be salvaged but I am hoping I can do something with it to save it. If the neck CAN be replaced, can I put a neck on it that supports it being strung with metal. Thank you for taking the time to read these ramblings of the world's oldest guitar rookie.

Anything can be fixed. Photos would help.
But post them in the "main" forum.

Only a few members can respond in the Welcome Center.
You will get more responses in "General Posting" or elsewhere.
Many members have repaired many Ovations here.
Someone should have a suggestion.

You have been "upgraded" to a Member.
And... Welcome!

Hi Arthur. Thanks for the response (and the upgrade). I figured the only way I could get a better response was with that but I had no idea how to get it. Now I will continue my quest.
