I would sue! Mark in Boise is an attorney...he can help. No thanks. I'd offer to represent Ovation, but I expect Fender has them covered. |

At this point I'm in agreement. I got a great deal on it so I'm not inclined to make them bend on the price.
I've been playing phone-tag with Ovation... I'll probably connect with them on Monday. |

It probably didn't pass the final quality check so was sold as is. I don't think you've got a claim against either the seller OR Ovation - unless the seller claimed it was unblemished - then you might have a case.
You're probably the first person on this board to actually find the fault on their FRG. I don't think anyone else has, (I couldn't) so in that respect, you're just damm unlucky.
Anyway - it's so small. Don't be so precious and play the #*#* out of it and let the ding collection begin. Think of Willy Nelson's guitar - should put it in perspective. |

Sorry.
I still think you're being too precious about it though. |

nobody else will probably pick up on it but you.
i have a small crack in my drywall at my house and every time i go buy it i just have to look at it.i have fixed it 3 times and after a year or so it keeps coming back but i have to look every time i go by it.
it drives me crazy :eek: but i now have learned to live with it , i think :confused:
i tell myself doug don't look up at the crack in the ceiling when you walk by it :rolleyes: but then the voice in my head says doug you have to look at it and then the voice says no don't look doug ahhhhhh ....
im not looking up at the crack in the drywall ahhhhhh ............ yes doug you have to ,but if i don't look this time it will just go away ahhhhh
don't do it doug .....yes do it doug ahhhhhhhh...........
no no no no make it stop now .... :eek:
does this help yoch :confused: GWB That´s easy to solve:
1) Fix it;
2) GLUE a nice picture (sugestion: a nice Ovation picture) over it;
3) it was fixed last time you saw it. Now you don´t see it anymore. Ergo, problem solved, ocd satisfied. |

Location: Eugene, OR | No,...I had a nice conversation with Ovation and
they volunteered to go all the way to make it right if it continues to bother me.
I appreciate that much but the spot is just tooo small and some insect was lucky enough to have a fragment of his rear-end (looks like) memorialized in the finish of this gorgeous guitar. |

Should This Little Flaw Have Me so Wound Up On a New Guitar?
