I`ll check in when I can but Pacific time ...  yàll are likely to be long gone.  No worries, if it works it works. 
We are also looking at company so don`t be waiting for me.   
Play on!

Very cool!  Congrats -- I haven`t seen an ovation 12 since high school == a couple days ago...
As I recall, the harmonics just make it sing all on its own.
Enjoy
Jim

Sorry, Garyhays, I don't know what the problem might be.  I haven`t printed but the print preview shows my edited chord charts.  I`ll try to print and get back to you
Jim

Thanks! 
J3, the price was right... $80-- pretty hard to get hurt too bad.

But way more than cosmetic issues.  The headstock has been repaired -- quite nicely but...
Neck is actually fractured this is the main issue - can't even tune it at this point far too unstable;
Bridge lifting  - par for the course on a 30 year old 12er but better than most;
Several fret wires missing (what's that about??)

But the face is true, no lifting or warping etc.  beat to hell and back so finish is in rough shape but only one moderate crack.  Sides some relatively serious cracks. 

Why would I buy such a thing?  Well Larrivee is a pretty good Canadian name and this was early Larrivee so maybe some intrinsic value there.  Mostly tho, my gi-tar man says he can put it right for some long term play so I figure "what the heck."  Love the inlays.

It will be interesting to see how it works out.
Tuning and string changes -- yeah  I can hardly wait!

Hey, Mekidsmom, Zurf, and Topdown, that was a blast.  Thanks for extending the strum for a west coaster.
I'll have to figure out the time warp thing and pop in again soon.
Ack! -- sorry,   Other Jim too

I like to play the Crash Test Dummies' Funeral Song.
I'm just working on to Our Town - Telisha Williams brought the house down with that one (I can't do the twang justice but it's a great tune by Iris Dement)

Jim

Try  "ctrl -" to "zoom out"  I too use W-Vista with no problem.
Good luck,
Jim

lol  Thanks Zurf... gonna need it me thinks

I like the full chord when I play an alternating bass I like the sound of the lower 5th - it's worth the stretch.
I am still working on the barre but I see where being able to use different voicings makes for more interesting accompaniment --  2 guitars doing exactly the same thing is ok but the other adds a lot to the sound.  Capo works too but being able to move around the neck is pretty cool.

Here's a cool WW tutorial.  Some great info here - theory too (relatively survivable even)

BTW nice job GP -- do you still have the arch top??  very cool piece.
