I haven't found it at Ovation or anywhere else. The pre-Amp, sure. The pickup ... coming up blank.

I found other close-ups that seemed to be the same. I thought the difference between a 1751 and a 1755 Custom Balladeer was bling, but it might be a different pick-up as well.

But generally, the Wide Saddles are the Original Patented Pickup... And the Thin ones are the ThinLine. (or is it the SlimLine pickup?) The thin ones are the CP-100 pickups. There is also other pickups like the Stereo Pickups and HEX(?)... That is getting into overly technical stuff.
