Location: Canton,GA | I posted this question some time back a friend of mine has an old Ovation we think its a 73 white top balladeer no cutaway that the top is cracking and the bridge is screwed on it and I was wandering if anyone one could recommend a trustworthy repairman....this guitar has way more sentimental value than most.....It has been the source of inspiration for many a bluebird performance and some 60 songs cut by major Nashville country artists ....So any help would be greatly appreciated |

Location: closely held secret | Factory. I just got my '2 piece' ebay bargain 1624 back. They did a beautiful job repairing the de-laminating neck, the joint at the body and re-attaching the neck. |
