    Dennis Ward (Pink Cream 69, Magnum Etc.) Appreciation Thread

    Hi all, I'm new here (have lurked for years though) but from the searching I've done it doesn't look like there has been much attention given to the tremendous bass playing of Pink Cream 69's Dennis Ward. He's perhaps most known nowadays for his Youtube channel where he reacts to and (more...

    Ovation Magnum strings. What fits.

    Starting a thread so owners can chime in what fits and what doesn't. They have a longer winding length than your typical 34" scale, due to that massive bridge. If you have used certain strings, please post as a resource. It is hard to find. I took a chance on some Dean Markley Blue Steels...

    Ovation Magnum Big Screw

    Hey all, I’ve read the setup guide, the patent illustration and have done a cursory search. Can any Magnum owner explain to me what the big screw on the back does in relation to the bridge and setup. The neck is perfect I’d like to squeeze just a little lower action out of it. Thanks.

    Wasn’t looking for this but it popped up at my local GC so I grabbed it up. Plays well right out of the case and seems to be in great condition. There’s some dust, dirt and one scratch/gouge on the middle top. I didn’t score a great deal but I think I paid a fair price.
