I didn't think they would have any of these left kicking around but I will check.
Thanks!

Location: Nova Scotia, Canada | Why have I been playing Ovations since I was fifteen years old?? A number of reasons but a very big one is service!
I contacted K K in the service dept with my plight and obligingly dropped not one but TWO truss rod covers in the mail at no cost...
I ask you, how many companys, whether it be in the music business or otherwise, go out of their way to support products that are sometimes decades old?
My experiences go back to the days when Ray Gantic headed up the service department and it has alwas been the same, anything thay can do for you thay do, often above and beyond the call.
I will be playing their products until I can no longer play anything . . . :)
Thanks Ovation, you are a class act!

You got my truss rod covers. Kim was supposed to send me two along with a pile of other small assorted stuff. He forgot the covers, and I'll be damned if I'm going to bug him about them. He's been absolutely great to me over the years.
p.s. I found the covers someplace else. |

Location: Baton Rouge, Louisiana | OK, guys, what do you think?
I've just bought a 1617-4 Legend from a certain vintage dealer in Bellmawr, NJ (Hi, Al!) and am awaiting delivery.
Would it be OK to obtain one of these Glen Campbell truss rod covers and put it on this Legend of mine?
Hey, I bought it, it's my guitar, and I can do it, right?
Awaiting your opinion! So who has one available for me to put on the ole Legend? |

Better yet, get a blank cover and get cliff d. with his Dremel to put Tommy D. on it and listen to everybody who sees it pretend that they know who that is. It will do wonders for your ego.
Bailey :D
I had a music store set me up a cheap cutaway flat top with an acoustic pickup because I was tired of taking my good guitar on gigs in bars. He put a brass plate in it neatly engraved with "Custom built for Bailey ..." as a joke. Everybody who saw it praised its quality. |

What a splendid idea. Are you by chance an egotist? :p
I may just do that. I can be full of myself at times. |

Am I an egotist? Of course, aren't all of us who get up in front of people and show all the things we don't know about our instruments, egotists. If we weren't we would listen to that guy in the back row who is shouting "You aint no Chet Atkininians". I am such an egotist that my favorite acoustic guitar has rhinestone tipped bridge pins so they will flash in the spotlight. Egotist, string player is thy name.
Thank you, I love it.

PS: Sometimes we get applause, and we are ruined for life and beyond (as we have sold our soul for more of that!!) :cool: |

I hope you had a great Louisiana 4th, I'm sitting here with a gun shy australian shepherd waiting for the fireworks to end so I can take her out for her nightly relief. They outlawed fireworks here because of the dry weather. Being New Mexico, the rebellion has been intense, if it weren't for a thundershower earlier, we would have burned to the ground. A gun shy dog on the 4th makes me a humble humble egotist. Also note that I sold my soul for applause, not for mastery of my instrument as was said of Robert Johnson.

Location: Zion, Illinois | Ya know, Ovation OWES me a Glen Campbell truss rod cover!
The neck of my GC 12-string broke in 1980. I sent it to Ovation. They put a new neck on it and sent it back. The tuners were different, and the truss rod cover no longer said Glen Campbell, it was blank.
I have suffered from that day forward. It's time for Ovation to set right this horrible deed. Yes, I could just steal the GC truss rod cover from my wife's GC Ovation, but how would she feel?
come on Ovation, give me back my truss rod cover. Since you sent me a blank, it HAS to be there somewhere. Just look around a bit, it will turn up.....
:mad:
