If it wasnt' an Ovation it'd be easy to stick your hand thru the soundhole and feel the wood from the unfinished inside of it, but with that... Definitely slacken the strings and take it to a decent tech asap

I know that on my Ovation with the epaulet soundholes, there's a patch on the back that you can unscrew to do fun stuff like truss rod adjustments. Is your guitar lacking this? If not, then just take that off and stick a flashlight in there, which might make clear how deep the damage is.

Are the Gibson '58 VOS a limited time deal that Gibson is doing? I dreadfully want one, but realistically I won't have 3700 dollars to blow on a guitar for a couple years, and any sort of limited edition thing is going to be long gone by the time I've got enough scratch to buy one. If that's likely to be the case, then I might just start convincing myself that the Epiphone version would be exactly the same and for a couple thousand dollars less.

Pretty much all of my gear is on the low price / high value end of the spectrum, which is why I want just one really top notch thing that I can hold onto for years, treat lovingly, and pass on to my kids when they follow in my footsteps and live out all those dreams that I failed to accomplish.

fake edit: What I really want is just a plain top les paul, and the '58 VOS is basically the only gibson version of that that I can find. If somebody knows of a standard production les paul that's a plain top and is maybe around 2 grand or something, that would be pretty balling.

Yes! Those don't come in honey burst, which is a minor tragedy but the cherry sunburst is almost as good, and those look fantastic. Thank you for pointing those out; I had completely missed them.
