I decided to repair a balladeer
I'm t the point of deciding which resin
To spy onto the neck. Should. I used
Black gel coat or polyurethane

Im on my second ovation in 25 years. This one has the electronics. A while back the pickup stopped working and there is a rattling sound inside. Something came loose? can I fix it? The last guitar had the neck broke off by my young son and I fixed it and played it for years. Would like to get this one back up and running. Any help?

I just repaired and reglued the bridge on an Ovation Balladeer just like the one you're playing in your youtube vids. I restrung to make sure the bridge holds under tension and it does. The bad news is that, during the repair procss, the nut fell off. Upon exam., I found that it had been hacked and whacked in a previous life. I straightened it up but found that the process lowered the string grooves when it was reset. My error. The result is strings too close to the fingerboard causing fretting buzz so it needs replaced. Nice blog. I enjoyed reading it.
