Has anyone had a broken headstock 'ear' repaired/replaced at the MS?
I have an old CC57 that has about 1/2" missing off the bass side of the headstock. I'd include a pic but the git is in temp storage during our den remodeling 'experience'.
I really don't like the Vincent van Gogh look...
TIA! |

Location: Phoenix AZ | I had one repaired by a local luthier and he did a nice job. He milled a section of mahogany and spliced it in perfectly and refinished it. You had to look real hard to see it. Cost me $125. which I thought was pretty reasonable for amunt of work he did.
I'm not sure about your CC57. That's handled by Kaman Service, not Ovation. I think they do warranty work only, no out of warranty repairs or custom work. You could call and ask.

Location: Tychy, Poland | i had it repaired by my luthier. it's visible, but looks better repaired than not. As in Tupperware's case, he just milled section of mahogany and glued it to headstock. |

Maybe it would be easier if I get a used headstock, sever along the thicker 'shovel' arch and splice.
Thanx for the info and food for thought gents!  |
