Ovation repair?

I have an Ovation applause we leave at the lake for camp fire playing. Over the summer the heat must have got to it. The bridge came off and split. Would this be worth replacing. I checked with a local builder who quoted me $125 to replace the bridge. I only give $75 for it.

take a look here for your model and order a new one. you can replace it yourself. some models screw and glue down which makes it easier.

Where do you get them from?

The first part of the link is ovationguitars.com so I guess you would get them from Ovation.

Ed,
Replacement parts can be ordered through any authorized Ovation dealer or service center. Here is a link to find your local dealer....

Hi,
I need to order a replacement bridge for my 05' 1778TX. I found a part number from your site (Part # 811761-X) and need to know where and how to order this part. Can you help?

Thanks, Ed
