| Hello the name is Dave and I need some help with an Ovation Preacher I recently acquired. What I want to find out is what this is located under the bridge of my guitar. There is a screened lead running to it and it is wired to one of the pots. As far as I can tell it seems to be factory fitted.
Thank you. |

| There is a ground wire as well as this screened lead. The screened lead is wired to a small block fixed to the bottom of the bridge. This lead is then wired to the bridge pickup tone pot. I will post a photo once I am able to do so. |

The Chrome or Gold Solidbody Bridges have a ground wire.

| Hi there is a ground wire to the bridge but this lead is screened and goes to a small block fitted to the underside of the bridge. The other end is then wired to the bridge tone pot. I tried to post a photo here but was unable to do so. |

Location: Jet City | Sounds like it might have piezos built in? I've heard of such things, but have never had the pleasure.
Do you have the picture online somewhere, or just on your computer? |
