I have a vintage ovation year 1981, serial 253052, i think it is legend limited. that I am trying to restore. I need bridge pins, string nut, saddle and shim. I am not sure if you have trust rod cover or not. Can you pls let me know which pieces I should order. I'd like to order right away.

i dont have the original nut and saddle so not sure about the exact sizes, here's what i collected from internet
saddle : l : 3.34, h : ???, w : 0.36
nut => l : 1.6875, h:0.216, w: 0.204

need a shim i believe.

where can i order these from?
thanks

Stewart MacDonald has saddles and nuts. http://www.stewmac.com/
Ovation guitars do not use bridge pins.
Once you get the saddle and nuts you can sand them down to the proper height.
Cut-up credit cards make great shim material.
