Found a crack in my previously perfect 1996 1769 Custom Legend. I thought the factory had fixed the finish crack proplem by '96. Starts at the bridge below the low E and extends at 8:00 for about 1-1/2". Real bummer :(

Send it back to the Ovation Factory for repairs. They do great work. If you are the original owner then it should be warrantied and fixed for free.

I'm not the original owner. I guess I'll wait and see if it grows. Damn Wisconsin winters! I had to leave it in the car Monday night at 5 below for an hour. I didn't open the case 'till last night but I guess the temp was too much for it.

After seeing the crack, they seem to have migrated to the upper regions of my abdominal cavity.

That's a shame :( Tony Calman has come up with a pretty effective fix for finish cracks though.
