Location: Zion, Illinois | I'm finally getting around to selling off some guitars. My wife has to go back home to the Philippines, so I need the money right now.
This is a guitar I bought off of E-Bay to be fixed up. The top had a couple of cracks that I repaired. I tried to re-finish the top, but I didn't do a good job.
Also, the truss rod is broken. Truss rod adjustments are done inside the body via an access panel in the back of the guitar with a long allen wrench. The previous owner stripped the part the allen wrench goes into, so it can't be adjusted.
When I got this guitar, it wasn't playable. It is now playable, but still needs work. It has sat for over 6 months, but when I took it out a little while ago to put new string on, it was still in tune.
It comes with an Ovation case. I bought the case off of E-Bay. It was new, but damaged (gee, a matched set). There is a square piece missing from the bottem edge of the top of the guitar. I have it covered with black tape, but I sure there is a better way to fix this.
The electronics work. I just plugged the guitar in and played away for a while.
Botton line, this is fixer-upper. It is playable, looks ugly, and needs someone who knows what they're doing to look it over and fix it.
But for $350, might be worth it.
If anyone is interested, let me know. Otherwise, back to E-Bay it goes.
P.S. There is a picture of it in the gallery under Bradley.
