I can recommend that you use the link on the left, and then go to the ovation website. On the website look for the contact information, and then contact them directly. (Or do a search here) Good luck. I went thru the same thing and they were able to help me out. Though I live in Brooklyn not in uk. It may be easier to send stuff to me, but you never know ...

I doubt VERY highly that the Factory'll have a saddle for an import Celeb (but I guess y'never know).

I'd suggest just biting the bullet, buy the blank and SLOWLY/CAREFULLY shape it as needed
(or have somebody do it for you).

Even the Ovation replacement saddles (just got one for my Pacemaker) are gonna be blanks that need a bit of "editing"

g'luck . . .

If I were you, I'd sell the Celeb and buy an Adamas. Comperable price.......
