Location: Vancouver Island, BC | I am hiding from the west coast rain in SoCal. A good chance to ship my es to New Hartford. It is already there, and I am awaiting a response from John B. Should have it back before we head back to Can.
I have had some grief with this one. Badly lifted lower bout, and raised fretboard extension. It may have had a neck re-set along the way too. I would love to have it sorted, so it can age as gracefully as my other Ovations.Here at OFC I see nothing but praise for the MS, so I shipped it off with confidense. I would not dare to let anybody else work on it.
I'll keep you posted.
And all my best wishes to all of you for the coming year.

Location: Tennessee | It never rains in California. Seriously. 2013 is the driest year for Los Angeles in all of their recorded history. But a nice respite from the evergreen mist that is the PacificNorthWest.
Your confidence will be well rewarded. Looking forward to hearing the "after" story.
It will be a great 2014. |

Location: Marlton, NJ | Hovard - I brought my ES to the MS a while back because the bridge popped off one night. It came back in better condition then when I first bought it. You will definitely be happy with the results. |

Location: Keepin' It Weird in Portland, OR | So... When I read the Title of this Thread I wondered Why you would wanna send your guitar to Mississippi. 
Y'know, we will need pictures.

Location: Vancouver Island, BC | I thought maybe those sotherners would inject some good blues into my guitar, badly needed..
Sure is dry. My hygrometer has been blank since I got here, and the "backup Balladeer" sleeps in its case evry night with a couple of Oasis' tucked in.
At home there'd be moss growing in there!
Should get the verdict in a couple of days. X-mas in Jan? or diminishing returns... |

Location: Sunshine State, Australia | I have the exact opposite problem here in Queensland. Trying to keep the humidity DOWN.. The Ovations handle the humidity admirably, but my wood-box Maton is a bloody sponge. I keep it in its case with 1/2 ton of desiccant and the case hygrometer is still somewhere between 60 and 70. Back on topic... There seem to be a few '05Cs going home for some TLC. I had to send mine back too (from Australia) for a neck reset. The '05 was the first of the new breed and I wonder if there were a few other subtle changes to the design that were flawed? |
