A little tribute to these under-rated guitars.

I had to do minor restorations and adjustments (especially that hole under the E-string, quite common to Ovations) but now this guitar can rival my 1688.

The finest workmanship (even inside!) with a bell-like sound.A great pleasure to play and a privilege to own.

I´ve just bought a very nice and detailed mini-Adamas guitar.With this and my 1687 I tested a special feature of my new Lumix camera.
´82 Collector´s with carved bridge

I always wanted this guitar with a acrved bridge like the custom legend, so I decided to make it myself.I also used a custom-made armrest(by Ernie Rissmann, he has a special ovation pattern for them) and re-coloured the white pegheads into matching blue-ish look. What do you think?

The second. I took my time and it worked even better.I think this bridge matches the woody character of this guitar.

I found this on ebay...incredible...built 1992, still factory strung and the old battery(exp.date1995!) inside...only little dust, not a single scratch, perfectly matches my shiny 12string!

Technically it appears to be an Elite, but I don´t know what the Ovation people did, this guitar can outplay any other of my Ovations. And..isn´t it a beauty?

The guitar has new frets, brass nut, re-set neck, new Schaller machines with finer ratio and shorter axles for better string pressure on the nut, John Pearse ebony armrest.

1537 with nicks, scratches and dents and a sealed finish crack in the middle of the top, but before the bridge, no problem.
Mothership neckreset and refret, no fretwear.
Custom-made armrest, really great sounding guitar.

Bridge problems?

I decided to make new carvings instead of making a new binding at the edge of the fretboard.
1537-1 a surprising find

In a music shop in Holland was this guitar. Needed a neck-reset, little polish and cleaning, plays and sounds like a dream. And I love sunburst guitars.
Now I am another PROUD owner of a 1537!

Slothead tuners sometimes work not smooth enough, I added ball bearings
