Electronics on a Standard Balladeer

ladylaw Posted 2009-04-04 9:32 PM (#420091) Subject: Electronics on a Standard Balladeer Joined: February 2009 Posts: 335 Location: Reisterstown, Maryland I just bought a SSB Standard Baladeer Mod# 1861. The Blue Book of Guitars says it has a 4 band EQ. But mine came with an OP30 unit in it. Is this what was supposed to be or is this an upgrade of sorts?

The 1861 is a great little player. A 4-band would have been the OP-X. The OP-30 is a newer model. ladylaw Posted 2009-04-04 10:23 PM (#420093 - in reply to #420091) Subject: Re: Electronics on a Standard Balladeer Joined: February 2009 Posts: 335 Location: Reisterstown, Maryland Once I get her all fixed up and cleaned up, I'm going to post some pics cause it was you guys who helped me go for this sweet baby!

I had one on my S771 Special Balladeer and still have one on my 1778T. They are good pre-amps. And the tuna is down-right handy! We patiently await the pictures.
