ksdaddy Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 I took in a $25 basket case Ovation today. Inside there was a postage stamp sized ziploc baggie with some white powder residue. I tasted it and my tounge went numb. Hmmmmm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ksdaddy Posted November 21, 2012 Author Share Posted November 21, 2012 It would explain the paint job anyway.... Â Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buxom Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 That's a killer paintjob. Â Also, the powder is probably... Guitar fairy powder..? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dem00n Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Paint Job screams 90's. Â I'd rock that. Â Hows it playing? I know your a big fan of those guitars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksdaddy Posted November 21, 2012 Author Share Posted November 21, 2012 Oh it's on the bench for now. The bridge was pulling up, the nut was horrific, and the top was actually popping off the bowl. It was $24.99 buy-it-now for a reason. Â Fixed the bowl edge and I have a good fitting nut off another Ovation. The bridge? Well, I basically plowed a bunch of wood glue under it and clamped the living snot out of it. I've had good luck with quickie fixes on O bridges. Â The bowl has a small crack in it and it's missing a chunk of the atmosphere-reentry proof binding so you KNOW it had a few hot suppers along the way. These guitars don't dent easily. Â Kinda a hybrid. It says "Matrix" on the headstock. It was made in the late 70s in Moosup along with the aluminum necked Applauses. It has a laminated top, raised binding like an Applause, an aluminum neck but with a rosewood board. Mishmash of Ovation/Applause. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dem00n Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Good to know it'll be in working order soon. Do the bridges mostly pull off on these guitars? Â Â If you sell it, hit me up. I'm in love with that top but i'm to broke at the moment to even think about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rct Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 I dig your Ovationness, KSDaddy. I have an expensive last century pre-Fender Custom Legend 1869. I love it. Keep up the good work. Â rct Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksdaddy Posted November 21, 2012 Author Share Posted November 21, 2012 They do pull up. More so on the laminated top ones (Applause). The plys actually separate before the bridges come loose. Nothing a good dose of yellow glue won't fix though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
