Hey everyone,

I never got around to fixing the bridge problem. I'd like to send this to someone that would like to buy it and fix it up properly. I don't have the time, or skill to fix it.

Here is a link to the thread on the board:

http://www.ovationfanclub.com/cgi-bin/ubb/cgi/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=ge...

I got this guitar in a trade and am not sure what it's worth. I know the posting guidelines state that a price must be posted so...

It includes a Road Runner hard shell case that fits it perfectly..perfect condition. A forum member has stated that these were specifically made for Guitar Center because the serial number has a GC in front of it.

Other than the bridge being separated the guitar is in perfect condition.

I can't find much about this model on the web but other Ovation Special's seem to sell for $650.

Let's say $300 shipped anywhere in continental USA. PayPal is fine. I'll include the new set of Elixir Nanoweb strings that I had just installed before the bridge let go.

Check this thread, sounds like an easy fix. I have excellent feedback on both Ebay and TalkBass. I can easily provide references for anyone.

If anyone wants additional pictures from what are included in the provided thread please let me know.

Scott

You are correct about Guitar Center. The cedar specials were just for them. I had one with a spruce top and the rosette was nowhere near as pretty as that. Good luck with the sale.

I think that's a wise move. You'd be hard-pressed to find a comparable replacement for the $250 you were asking…

If you decide you're not comfortable with performing the surgery yourself, that shouldn't be too expensive (nor difficult) a repair for any competent luthier…

keep us posted?
