Ovation Dreamin’
I must be crazy to buy another Ovation guitar though this time it’s a classical model. I figured that the price being what it is, it’ll be a missed opportunity to let it pass. Sent the bank draft so now awaiting its delivery. It’s an act of ‘faith’ really since I’ve no guarantee that this person will actually deliver and i can’t do anything about it should she default on her part of the transaction.
Anyway, this guitar has been under the care of a almost-player (she tried to learn it but never did). I noticed form th epic she sent that the truss rod cover was missing. Thankfully the customer service personnel from Ovation HQ was willing to sent it to me FOC. I can’t really pin this model down as the label inside the sound hole is missing and probably only the s/no left. It’s not 1116 and the fella from HQ who saw the pics says it’s probably model 1123. The ovation web site’s archive page doesn’t list it which is rather strange. Well there are several models aren’t listed in the archive page either. So….
Joined the Ovation Fan Club and has learned some interesting thing along the way.
Called Francis from the Guitar Workshop yesterday. Apparently the neck needs heating to straighten it. This condition (warping) must have been caused or intensiifed by the guitar being left in church office (it is very hot) for extended time each day. My Yamaha FG-512II likewise suffers similar fate with buzzing sound coming on. I will need to put in the Jr’s class from now on.
Has been enjoying the ‘97 parlor guitar. Wouldn’t mind selling it later either. Its sound is loud for a parlor and sleek OP amp on its body.
Received sms inquiring about the legend 1117 but unfortunately can’t let the fella view it since it’s still in the workshop. Maybe I shouldn’t have brought it there in the first place. Sometimes i just don’t think enough but act of foolish impulses. It might be another week or two before the neck is straighten out sufficiently.
