Location: 6 String Ranch | The narrower is mostly for looks, doesn't save any money. I think ebony is good too. Afterall isnb't guitar building all about depleating our natural resourses? Use up that Ebony and Brazilian Rosewood and Black Walnut and Honduran Mahogony. Let's use up all the Spruce trees.
THEN, we will all hvae to play Qs. That's a nice thought! |

Location: Canton (Detroit), MI | Yes, I didn't think the narrower 5-piece neck would save any money. Assembling 5 pieces is assembling 5 pieces, and narrower might actually be HARDER to assemble than a little thicker. I personally prefer the thicker stripe, myself. My favorite stripe is on my 2002 Collectors, with my 1777 Legend a close second.
I'm waiting for us to hurriedly use up all the good top wood so that the carbon fiber top will work its way down into Ovations(we can use old pallets for Celeb and Applause tops).

Ovation "golden years" or "rust years"?
