Location: Alabama | I finally shipped my 1537(top cracks) and 1769 (top crack) to the factory. I have already become impatient. How long do top refinishes usually take? |

Send your Daughter up to my house. Tell her we milk our own cows and clean our own chickens.
Of course we don't, but she doesn't need to know that!
BGM2K - Abstinence makes the heart grow fonder! Are you without a guitar for a while or do you have a therapeudic standby? |

Location: Keepin' It Weird in Portland, OR | Were both guitars unplayable? I ask, cuz I woulda only sent them one at a time...
If you have many guitars, the question is moot.
I wouldn't have sent all my Ovations anywhere. |

Location: Alabama | The 1537 cracked during shipping and the 1769 was bought with a crack. The 1769 was unplayable. However, all of the pics poseted of "new" and beautifiul 1537s over the last couple of months made me drool so I sent it too. I do still have my 1117 and breadwinner, but the breadwinner is in pieces. My Seagull grand is getting more playing time. I had forgotten what a nice ($275.00 to the door with a hardshell case) guitar it is for the price. |
