Don't you love the carefully crafted description? He never comes out and says "This is an Ovation". No, he shrouds it in mystery ("it has a somehow different headstock"), so as to avoid the EBay cops.
Cheers!

Q: Hi, not sure what it it but it is definitely not an Ovation. None of the features conform to any Ovation model ever made. It's just a poor copy of some kind. Thanks.
A: Hi there, thanks for contributing. But it's no 'poor copy' Poor copy's don not features solid tops. If it's a copy it's a good one. thanks anyway.. and like i said..your part of the ad. |

Location: North Texas | Ya don't see too many this one. Since when is Douglas Fir considered tone wood? The likelihood of the top being solid is slim. The word solid, in the description, may be used as a synonym for strong. At least, they put the good side up. |

Location: Paris/France | Hi,
It's a Stagg A2006-CS and I doubt that there's a solid top on this guitar!!!
I agree with Bluebird, it's really a very poor copy.
Like most of copies...
Only Ovation can do an Ovation. :)

Scremin Bones Jefferson! Now you gotta love that! Great name for an acoustic solo act!

Location: closely held secret | Now he's calling it "a Homemade Ovation based on a Stagg". So now it's a homemade guitar based on a cheap knockoff. Just gets better and better!
Bookmatched top? Yup, that's how they make plywood, all righty... |
