Any profilers out there who can identify this one, and what's with that headstock?

That looks exactly like mine. My case gave it up years ago, and mine doesn't look to be in nearly as good of shape as that one, but that's a Matrix.

Wouldn't even think about buying one of those without seeing a bunch of in-focus close-up shots of the frets.

I was thinking...aluminum neck....maybe you could weld them togeher and make either a really long neck or a really WIDE neck 12. The posibilities are ENDLESS!! :eek:

They are actually quite good. I think the sound is representative of any deep bowl Ovation, but has a little more of a twang to my ears. I attribute that to the aluminum fretboard. The frets (ie the fretboards) are not practically replaceable. I figure mine is worth $100 and it has no finish cracks or fretware. I won't sell it, though, because if was a wedding present from my wife. Maybe if she divorces me for buying too many guitars I'll get rid of it for less than that.

Before I saw the Label, I saw the Klingon-bump on the head.
