I just saved all those photos in an album on my computer so that I can share them with folks who already think that I am nuts about all these Ovations. But this is just a piece of History. So Kewel to see this. ![]() Thanks, Art. | ||

Fantastic job on the restore, Dan. I'm sure she'll love it for years to come. | ||

Jen just upgraded your status to "Master Luthier"! A title to which I wholeheartedly agree (due to 1612 ownership!). Thanks for sharing your journey, and for posting highly educational BFLG threads! Can't wait for your next project! Next time I'm in California (assuming I'm not intruding and assuming we both have time) let me buy you a drink! Just a job very well done! P.S. Wasn't expecting such a jazzy expression from Harry Chapin's daughter. Really pleasantly surprised. She seems so down to earth just like her Dad! Edited by arumako 2018-08-13 12:00 AM | ||

Joined: June 2012 Posts: 1874 Location: Lake Forest, CA | Jen sent me a note. She joined the OFC but her posting permissions haven't been enabled yet so she aske me to post this on her behalf: Thanks to all of your for your kind wishes for the restoration of my dad's guitar. This has been somewhat overwhelming and I'm at a loss to adequately express my gratitude to Dan, Steve and the wider community for all the support for this process and for my having a "brand new 40-year-old guitar." I started to get reacquainted with it at a couple gigs this past weekend and an accomplished photographer took some posed photos there that he will forward to me and I will pass on to you all soon. My dad was very self-deprecating about his guitar playing but of course he was excellent and had worked hard to develop his unique finger-picking style. I've been erratically focused at moving my own playing forward and use the guitar more as a tool for songwriting and to lay the barest sketch of my songs down for my virtuosic and sensitive band to color in. So it's a bit embarrassing for me to have the privilege of repossessing this wonderful guitar that I don't quite deserve! But I will continue to try to put it to good use in crafting thoughtful songs and spreading the word about my dad's legacy as still vibrantly alive through the work of WhyHunger (http://whyhunger.org), on whose Board I serve. With gratitude, Jen | ||

Joined: June 2012 Posts: 1874 Location: Lake Forest, CA | I watched Jen's live show last night. She and her trio played some really cool songs. She played her Ovation exclusively. ![]() She has a new CD coming out soon. She's going into the studio next week. I think I heard her say last night that the songs she was playing were going to be on her new CD. | ||
