Joined: March 2003 Posts: 127 Location: Corvallis, OR | Hi I am still looking for a wide neck steel string Ovation guiatr, such as the # 1614. I am not particular about bowl depth or neck length. Felix Think global - Act loco | ||

Joined: March 2003 Posts: 127 Location: Corvallis, OR | I finally have it straight - I looked at the model numbers on my exisitng Ovations and got them all mixed up. I have a 1614 nylon wide neck (not classical), and a very old #1863 wide neck steel string (soon to be returned to the factory for removal of it's "hump.") I play very different music on the two guitars, and I am now looking for another steel string guitar , so I can leave it in an open tuning. Apparently, these "wide necks" are not as common as I thought. Felix Felix | ||

Joined: June 2002 Posts: 6194 Location: Phoenix AZ | Felix, Exactly what in the heck are you looking for? You own a 1614 which was designed to have steel strings on it. Your 1863 was designed to have nylon strings. So what exactly are you searching for? Dave | ||

Joined: March 2003 Posts: 127 Location: Corvallis, OR | It seems that I have had the model numbers reversed in my mind all the time I owned these, but I dont pay much attention to (or retain) model numbers - but you are all correct - the nylon string is 1863 and the steel string is 1614. I am looking for any equivalent of the 1614, so I can leave it in an open tuning. (daily re- tuning shortens string life noticeably. ) I dont care about neck length or bowl depth, but it must have the wider neck, (which is wider than normal, but less than the full classical width.) Actually, I dont even know if Ovation still makes a this item... Thanks for the time and thoughts Felix | ||
