Location: Pennsylvania | Hey, guys. Tom here. I'm looking for a large-style delrin or tusq saddle that will fit on my Custom Balladeer. I'm thinking about acousticizing the guitar, but I dont want to just chop the electics off mine without a backup. Thanks...

Location: Pennsylvania | Cool. So what's the best way to get a hold of Budney?
By the way, I actually plugged it in yesterday to try it out.
(I had to put a battery in first. The one in there said "best if used by 1993!" So it was probably the original battery or very close to it.)
Anyway, I was suprized at how good it sounded. I actually liked the plugged-in sound!!
I've been annoyed by thinlines before due to them being a bit "poppy" and sometimes plasticy/trebley sounding, but thats personal opinion and a differnt story. ;)
So, I may keep it plug-in-able, but the prob is, theres something in there that occationally gives a litte rattle, most likely some loose screws. And it's so much harder for me to work on center-soundhole ovations, that I know I'm going to really put doing that off.
I just wish I had a diagram of the inside or something so I know what exactly I'm touching in there, and where all the screws are, what I need to tighten, etc...
Can anyone tell me how to tighten the screws for the preamp? I found a screw, but it's about impossible to reach with a tool, so I'm guessing theres another one I'm overlooking. Thanks.
