My Breadwinner #882

I found it in a guitar shop and it had been very unfortunately modified by someone who had no idea what they had. The original Ovation neck pickup had been taken out replaced with a cheap humbuck. The guitar was still fantastic and I have it and play it to this day. Here's what I'd like some help with -- I would like to restore this instrument. I want to find a replacement Pre-amp board, the two pots, and a replacement neck pickup. The original pickups on this instrument are the ones with the rectangular pickup-pads and round pickup screws, seen on 1251 types. If anyone out there can help me find these parts I would appreciate it. The serial number makes this a pretty early model and I'd love to put it back to it's original condition. Thanks so much, Howard Mr. Ovation Posted 2012-04-21 7:52 PM (#453517 - in reply to #453512) Subject: Re: My Breadwinner #882 Joined: December 2001 Posts: 7222 Location: The Great Pacific Northwest I have pickups (which will work by the way without the preamp) but finding a pre-amp is gonna be tough.
