Ovation Celebrity Deluxe 12-string

picture from zzounds.com


This beauty came up on craigslist a while ago for $180.   It had a loose bridge, no case but otherwise in pretty good shape.   Looked like it had some trauma on the back, and had a small crack in the plastic where access hole cap attaches. 

I removed the bridge with some careful application of heat from an iron, good masking of the finish and a palette knife.  I had trouble finding a replacement bridge, so I carefully flattened it out with sandpaper, reglued it and strung her back up.

I just love this guitar.   Holds pitch perfectly, easy to play, electronics work well.
