After buying the 1685 from Dave W. I really really
liked the feel & look of the gloss neck finish a lot better.

So
I had this done

Plastic aftermarket nut replaced with the orginal brass nut.

Plus had the fret dressed setup, and wiring and switch repair. Living in sub tropical climate was not easy old wire & contact points.
Plays great sounds kickin
Had strap locks added too

Andy is doing a full fret board signature for Glen Campbell. Its for the Fender Custom Shop guitar.
First thing he said after I said Ovation.
$25 bucks for truss rod covers like this.

Maybe OFC covers????

Location: Marlton, NJ		PEZ - did they actually have the Bridge posts in stock?? From what I understand, no one had any of those, anywhere...

Both gits are gorgeous!

OFC covers would be really cool. I like Andy's web site.

Oh yeah.. sorry we missed you at the MS!

Location: Nashville TN.		Nope they had them in stock.
Maybe they found some when they were moving to the 3rd floor.
I had a doctors appointment so couldn't have been there Tuesday.
Thanks
both are sweet guitars.

Maybe Al should look into it.
