Location: VA | A friend dropped off an older CC68 needing some TLC. Two of the tuners have the nut that holds it to the peghead stripped. Does anyone know where I can get exact replacements tuners so I don't have to get a complete new set?
Thanks! |

Location: VA | Okay, here you go. BTW, I have 5 tuners for a 70's Ovation Viper if someone needs a replacement. the two that are bad are both on the right as you look at the headstock from the front, what would be the B and E strings.

Hopefully the guitar is in better shape than those tuners. Looks like you could use a nice set. The ones I have would shame dem ol' ones! :p
Check your PM... ;)
BTW, welcome to the Ovation Hive Mind! |

Location: Tennessee | G-Man ... welcome back. I checked out your site, saw your pic, and remember you from years ago. You were an early member here and posted up some cool stuff, including, if I remember correctly, some pretty awesome songs. It's nice to see you around again. |

Location: VA | I'm still around! I still have my Viper, my 1768 and 1858.
BTW, this CC68 has some huge cracks in the finish onthe top, and looks like a beater, but my friend only payd $125 for it, so I just want to make a player out of it.
My Ovations are still my favorite acoustic, but I love my Carvins. I have an NS1 Synth with a Roland GR-33 and VG-88 that is the most versitile instrument I have ever owned. Steve Olver got me hooked on it. I met him at Carvin's factory a few years ago and have kept in touch. He's done a concert in VA for the last few years. There are photos at my site.

If you have time to listen to him demo the NS1, you will see what I mean.
