Location: Brisbane Australia		I have just bought a project double neck Celebrity here.
Will probably just end up being a wallhanger.

Was there a US made double neck?

I have only ever seen Celebrities for sale

Location: Keepin' It Weird in Portland, OR		Quick research tells me that they are all Celebrities... (Except maybe the Custom Shop Original)
I'm sure at some time the folks in Connecticut made one or two before they shipped 'em overseas.
But they have two models, and one is more Celebrity than the other....
The red one is a CSD225, and the blue one is the CSE225



Notice the ends of the fretboards... The CSE blue is a solid top, the CSD red is plywood.
As far as Ovation's website sez, those are the only colors each model comes in...

So which one did you get.

Location: Brisbane Australia		Interesting project Chris, zzzzz.

Art, not sure it has apparently been refinished.
The seller reckoned it was a sunburst originally so who knows.

I'll assess it when I get it

Location: Central Massachusetts		Yes there are USA made double necks.. Tim in Tidewater has/had one, check his gallery. Very spendy as I recall. I also remember seeing the form used to hand-lay the bowl at the factory.

Jim, how's things?? There were also some asian market double necks made......CSD215's ? or something like that. I had one that I bought from our Hawaian Connection a few years back. The one I had was quite well made in a super shallow bowl. Great stage guitar. Also more color choices. They had a blue one that looks just like the ones they have released into the American market now and they had a tobbacco burst that was more of a yellow color (the one I had) and they made a smoked black finish that looked quite interesting. As for the American made doubles I have never owned one but they are quite expensive and I think for the money if I was to do one again I would save the money and have the factory make me an adamas 1 double. That is if Fender says they can still make them. ? I would get more use out of it than one of the original slotheads for the same price.

Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains		There are some custom US made models out there. Tim has one. However, they're really expensive . . . like five figures if you can find a willing seller.
