Greetings from SoCal!

I am an Ovation user for 1986. I play an '86 Collector and recently purchased used KOA Celebrity for open tunings. My biggest regret was not buying the matching 12-String back in '86. As for new Ovation purchases in the future, it will be a 12-stringer - not actively seeking but when I come across it, I will know. 

I do have one question as I have not been able to find it anywhere yet. New Ovations now come equipped with Straploks. I have been using these on my electrics for quite sometime and would like to retrofit my Ovations with them as well.

1) Has there been a source for the proper screws to work with the existing Ovation tapped strap system?

2) If not, where have others found the screw size to use the StrapLok system?

Here is to hoping to become a full Ovation forum member.

Cheers,

Randy

Here are a couple of pics of my babies

Hi Randy,
You've got a couple of beautiful guitars there and thanks for posting the pics (we like pictures).  I don't use a strap so I'm no help, but this question has come up before.  Hit this search and see if one of these doesn't answer your question.  Welcome to the group!

The screws that you seek, that will fit in the "mollies" in the bowl and also fit Dunlop Strap-loc buttons, are available from Ovation.

Go to the Ovation site

Then go to Support and Contact Info... And they can hook you up.

Thanks Nick B. I was searching for that answer but could not find with search engines - it happens.

Thanks Arthur - I will contact Ovation.

Much appreciated Mr. Ovation!
